The Power of Autonomy

I withdraw my hand in haste
I touched something powerful
It lay invisible and called to me

Each stone tapping heartbeat
Each cold marble thought
It was waiting, crafting

"The Power of Autonomy"
And it is all mine to wield
I shall hold it like a shield
To know I can grow
Into one good decision
After another
Until I
Am reborn

Never again shall I
Be controlled by
Another

I shall lie in dust
Before I give
Away this power

And you dear reader
YOU
Must do the same
Or else dear reader
YOU
Will be the one
To blame.
