Fighting For Self Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Feeling wrapped tightly woven into a cocoon not of my liking,
trying to break free of it's hold on me.

Disliking to be under someone else's authority, never wanting
to be told what to do.

Fighting anyone who tries to take me into their cage of control,
always wanting to tame the wild side of me interiorly.

It's just not fair, why do men always think that they must own
you as if you are their possession in life?

Wanting to burst their bubbles, walking my own path, regardless
of what they may think, stepping out of time in measures of my
own self-esteem.
