You raped me of my intelligence
and stole this thing
called my wisdom.
And I didn't ask you to
voluntarily copyright my mind,
even if I willingly gave up my right
to a lesser known freedom.
Called Life.

PROMPT: "If I did not want others to violate my life, how could I voluntarily violate it myself?"

This is heavy. Made me read it twice, stop, and think. It is unacceptable that we allow our freedoms to be stripped, especially when we are the villains. Excellent! Thank you for this entry and I wish you the best in the challenge.
Much Love ♥
