Emancipation

I owe you
So, you say
Everything
About me I
Attribute to
In some way
To you, your
Deluded
Self. Feck You!
Do you think
This is true
You can’t be
Serious
What makes you
Think you are
Brains behind
My shit. Damn.
My thoughts and
My name is
All my game
Look real close
I AM TISSY
Uniquely
Me, no one
Can dare claim
Cause Tissy well
That’s my fame
What I write
My words read
My past, me
My pain, shame
Everything
That I say,
Living truth
Gospel proof
Cease. Desist
With your shit
Cause this is
My life and
No one else
Will take my,
Place or my -
name, face, choice
Back away
Make your peace
Or mistake
This girl is
Here to stay
