No, You Are Not My Mother Poem by Ragy Sandid

Why bother
You are not my mother
My mother nursed me
To be as fine as I can be

She wouldn't deliver
Me to become chopped liver
Not for some stranger
Who turns me deranged

Why keep trying
To make us seem like dying
We're not dead yet
In that, there is some zest

Why block the body
That was made for you to study
And employ and enjoy
You're the girl that gets the boy

Or man, but I'm not your child
I'm one of many thrown wild
Yes, options exist but for us
These options are out of trust
