Under my sky

 

you clothed me, installed heels on my feet

you locked away my power

fixed me into a marriage

"it's your destiny", you whispered to my ears,

since I was merely a girl child

I live with no name, and crave none

in this world that's not mine

I possess no form of own, only your molds

in this world that sucked my prowess

my body is the vessel

my womb is the tool

my emotions are redundant

my freedom is salable

"what do you want then?"

I asked myself

never learned to care for me

only tended to the needs of others

"I want to be in love

I want to make love!"

oh no, honey, anything but

I covered my own mouth

"Then I want to be free

I want to soar into the sky!"

oh honey, you are free

you are flying high under my sky
