Steal Me

Steal me if you dare,

rip my heart from my being.

Mold my mind with the bloody spare,

Try to convince me of what I'm seeing.

-

Try to lecture about my desire,

Tell me, please, why I cry.

Teach me why I can't reach higher,

Preach why my wings can't fly.

-

Steal my right to breathe my air,

To build a life I dream to live.

To soar above what you can bear,

To own my choice to take or give.

-

Try to dull my glow, my shine,

dare to tell me what to say.

but scratch the very first line-

You cannot steal me anyway.
