caged up

New York - 2015

I’ve been caged up in this body I used to think I owned. I used to think a lot of things until I met him. My visions became distorted and he infiltrated my mind with thoughts of monogamy. 

I used to ridicule those women who went on living their days and their nights with one man;  until I became one of those women. I became one of those reserved play-it-safe women who settled too soon. 

I was happy for a little while but just about everyone knows you cannot escape your thoughts. He could not erase that battle inside of me between wanting to love every inch of him  and wanting to love every inch of myself.
