You Thought You Knew Me

A Healing-from-Abuse Poem

You thought you owned me,
Each and every one.
You thought you knew me,
Every one, you did!

You thought you formed me,
Into a mold you chose.
You thought yourself my creator,
Each and every one, you did.

I know you some,
Some of you I know,
You thought you won;
You thought you ruled:
Kings and Queens of my universe.

Think again!
I am here!
I am alive!
I have survived!
I think, I write, I live!
