My Own

I no longer yield for you 

The person I was before

Sometimes it almost feels as if

I have inhibited the body of a girl I do not know

As if the parts of me that made me great

Have left

Because every time I am forced to 

Become someone else

A part of my old self is forced out

And I continue to overflow with jumbled up

Parts of my being that I can no longer

See as my own
