Everything you do is taken from me,
Everything you are is a devious lie,
You're after a way to take off and fly.
Every "I" that I utter you think is a "We",
It's my wings that you want for yourself,
But my wings I will protect with my life,
You will not find them on an open shelf,
Try and take them and you will face much strife.
You claim to be a friend by my side,
Yet all you want is to overpower,
It is me who you want to be allied,
It is me you want to bow and cower.
One more step out of line will be your demise,
Taking my fury lightly would Not be wise.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
