I'm not here to be disregarded,
Don't think you can keep me guarded.
I'm not some helpless child,
I am fiery, deadly and wild.
I'm not just your prize, your reward,
I'm not made to be admired then ignored.
I lived in the dark,
But now I've found my spark.
My fire will rage and rage,
While I set aflame your golden stage.
You thought I was simply weak,
But now I remember how to speak.
I will not sit quietly aside,
Because I fear your beast inside.
I am fearless and strong,
And you are just wrong.
I don't need your protection,
And I no longer want your affection.
So I'll stay away from your paws,
Because I am not yours.
