Deprive me of all that I need.
Take everything that I am,
That I own,
That I posses for my very being.
I had nothing to begin with,
Just my one item, my life.
But you just had to take it.

I understand that I couldn’t have it forever,
But one year is just too short,
In a blink of an eye 365 days past,
And I am left with nothing.
You took it, and you had no reason to.
Do you loathe my existence,
My happiness, that you couldn’t let me be
This one time.
I took a chance, a leap of faith.
I’ve never had anything like this before.

I’ve always longed for something I can exclusively posses.
Something I am not obligated to share,
Something that is mine.
But even that simple dream is gone now.
I have a humble characteristic to myself.
I seldom ever complain.
I am rarely ever selfish.

So why must I now suffer for my one time
Of calling out what is mine?
For exclusivity, for my ownership of a single piece of happiness.
