Write a poem or short story that contains this line.
raising yourself
as i looked into your eyes i watched my future go into flames.
I watched the burning behind your eyes of the stare into the match you lit to watch me burn.
you never raised a daughter, you raised a mirror.
having to shape shift to fit your needs or wants
when i wanted to soar you clipped my wings and let me fall
making me believe choosing myself was a reason to fold, a reason to give up
Im done having my size changed to fit the frame you built.
the same frame you built that fit you and only you.
