Roger Roger Poet Rhyme

You Don'T Own Me

You don't know me 
You don't own me 

You don't know the ghetto where I was born 
You don't know the winds that I have torn 
You don't know the places where I have been 
You don't know the roads that I have taken 
You don't know the mountains I have climbed 
You don't know the storms that I have braved 
You don't know the rivers that I have crossed 
You don't know the wagers that I have lost 
You don't know the oceans that I have sailed on 
You don't know the thorns that I have walked on 

It's not you that gives me bread 
It's not you that made me read 

So, don't judge me like you know me 
So, don't treat me like you own me
