Ownership

You say my name as if it's yours

I have no ownership 
You own it as if my soul has your tongue imprinted all over it
It travels in me 
Reminding each part that it's not my own
I have no control over myself
I feel like an intruder in my own body 
I don't think I should be here. 

You were supposed to be my mirror 
But the water in the pond has become muddier
Maybe that's why you can't see me anymore 

If I were a bird, 
I'd hold it within my palms and crush it 
How can it be alive 
The least, it should be crippeled
I would squeeze in hopes the life goes out 
But what I hate the most is the possibility that it might not die. 
I open my palms and i will see it 
Legs twitching and trying to stay alive. 
I will leave it as it is.
No remorse for my own actions 
I'd think about it and wonder how it turns out. 
Maybe someday I'd see it again, doing it's best to hop and fly,
To be like others 
But it won't ever be 
Everyone bird will be on their own 
And it will do it's best to get along 
But it won't ever be able to 
It can't 
Because it won't hold remorse against my palms 
It won't do anything but hold onto the remorse and keep moving forward. 

I hate the bird and yet
I'm a little proud of it. 

But it's ironic how easily it gets caged
