cell
locking me
in you
consider all
options
for my
distress,
the
way I
feel
about
how
I am
not yours
but
instead
my own
version
of
who
you think
I am
as
you lock
me out
of
what
you are

"not yours
but
instead
my own"
It says a lot very briefly.
There is so much power in the form and content both *
Perfect form for the piece - The short line / chopped stanza pulls a long breath through the end. Nice juxtaposition. Cell as in phone - cell as in bound ... as in broken "you lock / me out// of / what // you are.
Good poem.

Oh thank you, Sam! ♥️♥️♥️
I like that it completes itself. Nicely done.
