Take Away

You can take away my life

And make me your wife,

You can take away my job

You can lock the doorknob.

 

You can take away my chance

At being who I want to be 

But the fire in heart will dance

Until it is set free

 

It’s a bit peculiar, but so is the fact

That you named me your junior

Even though we had an equality pact.

 

But now you think, I should be free

You pretend with no blink

But I know you don’t want it to be.

 

I don’t need 

For you to fake fight

I won’t plead

For my birthrights.

 

So, you can punish

And take away all I love,

But you can’t diminish

The fact that I’ll never give up.
