My Body

This is my body
  Although you may know
Every Inch
   Curve
   Freckle
As well as I
  That doesn't make it yours
To do with what you please

This is my body
  It may be half of you
Inside
  Growing
That only makes it ours
  Not yours

This is my body
  In the end
Traditionally
   You will leave
  Like most
It will become me
  Mine, finally
My creation

But you are not traditional
  And I am not God
Why do we insist
  On playing the parts?
