My Own I Loved To Be
When I came to this world
Crying out
Not named
Blind
And hearing random voices
Not recognized
It was not my choice
To be a part of your world
Nor was it my mistake
To hold this name
You picked up this for me
Be called by it
And became my inner echo
Of course
I was your puppet
All directions you made me have
Only
To satisfy you
Never had you asked
What I wished to be
This is the moment of truth
I am not yours
But my own I loved to be
