I CAN TAKE IT FROM YOU [A POEM]

Resolute , not destitute,  not in pain or insane,
finite too, not in chains,buttoned down in case of rain
I’m not your prostitute,not you two bit whore,not your nickle bag or what you came here for,
not always on your side,not puffed up with your false pride,still living on my own burrowed time

Reconciled with my beliefs,unafraid of my own grief

I can take it from you leave you without nothing,
I can take it from you ever keep you wanting
I can take it from you never give it back,
I can take it from you  until you see all that you lack

Reconciled with my beliefs,unafraid of my own grief

My drowning pool like horses in their stables,
never running full speed,never completely able
I’m not your prostitute,not you two bit whore,not your nickle bag or what you came here for,
not always on your side,not puffed up with your false pride,still living on my own burrowed time

Reconciled with my beliefs,unafraid of my own grief

I can take it from you leave you without nothing,
I can take it from you ever keep you wanting
I can take it from you never give it back,
I can take it from you  until you see all that you lack

Reconciled with my beliefs,unafraid of my own grief

Thank you

DL
