Do you know me.
Have we met.
Surely you must know me
because here you are today.
Today you seek to help me make a decision
reserved for myself- and a personal few.
Today you tell me I am wrong and
you seek to decide my fate.
Surely you must know me.
Were you there as I struggled to raise my childrenPerhaps I missed you along the way.
Do you know the doors closed in my face
I have forced open.
Although your face is not known to me
Surely you must know me.
YOU SAY WE'VE NEVER MET!
How then do you dare with a smug indignant face
intrude on my personal choice.
How dare you lay your body
in my path.
I will walk over you.
I will crawl under you.
My choice will be mine, because now-
it's quite clear- YOU DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL!
