Me not you

I am me

Nobody else

Label me

Box me up

And you will see

You don’t have me

For me is not

What you believe

Or what you perceive

Because I am authentic

I am a one off

I am unique

I am individuality

Personified in every breath

From my birth

Until my death

I am me

And you don’t get me

For I am spirit

I am free

Beyond the realms

Of you controlling me

Or even oppressing me

I am like air

I am like water

Try to catch me

Try to hold me

But I will slip

Between your fingers

I will not surrender

Me to you

Because I am wise

To all you do.
