Find that one thing
that is yours
and no one else's

Don't own it
like a greedy villain
will chain his prized possessions

but embrace it
hold it gently
like a child will hold
a wounded bird
believing it can be saved
with love

Encourage it quietly
on your own
Shield it
Grow it
around your spine
until you know not where you end
and it begins

Then the others can do
what they want

Now it is not only yours
But it is you
and cannot fall out of your grasp.
