I Am Yours

I am yours
You bind me in thick, heavy garments
hiding my true self from the world
living in a masquerade where I have no role
to you there is no true self for me
I'm not an individual
I'm a thing, a possession
I am yours
as are my thoughts and my words
my life's purpose is to serve you
my husband
for I am yours
I bore you children to keep your bloodline
but I have no other worth
They should have killed me
as they did my sisters
but now I am yours
what do you want me to do now?
