The Way I'm Made

Facebook doesn't control me

Writing doesn't consume me

Television doesn't own me

The News doesn't feed me.

Being out walking delights me

Rest comes when it needs me

People watching intrigues me

Volunteering occupies me.

I often offer so much of myself

Sometimes it's hard to switch off

But I'm learning to care for myself

Despite people's common belief.

AI can't regenerate me

No scientist can clone me

A robot can't replace me

Technology can't sympathise.

I'm not a puppet for anyone else

I'm not perfect - take me as you find me

I'm the girl God created me to be

And only God himself can change me.

I care for you as you care for me

Learning to take it one day at a time

I'm the princess of my own castle

Without the need for social media.
