Own Voice

 You think

I'm in the market

Up for grabs

The needy me

The teary me

The weary me

Me that's scared

Me that's worn

Me into pieces torn

That's not me.

Don't dare to buy me

To get a slave

To reshape at will

To put to the till

For your gains

Don't make that your aim

Come build me a home

In the sky,

Where I can spy

A universe 

That has washed away lies

If not, I'll stay torn

Live alone

Although I'm worn

In me I'll hide,

My secret tears

My unnamed fears,

Though I can't rejoice

I'll own my voice.
