Turning the Table

by Pia Mehdwan

I am a girl, when did I become a woman?

I am a woman, when did I become an idea?

I am an idea, when did I become a muse?

I am a muse, when did I become an expectation?

I am an expectation, when did I become elusive?

I am elusive, when did I become binding?

I am binding, when did I become shackled?

I am a girl; I’ve become a woman.

I am a woman, I have my own idea.

I have my own idea, I am my own muse.

I am my own muse, I set my own expectations.

I set my own expectations, I choose to be elusive.

I choose to be elusive, I choose what binds me.

I choose what binds me, I break any shackles.
