Poem I wrote in 1979 (When I was 26 years old)

I recently heard that what we post online is automatically copywrited. Please, don't anybody steal my words. But I think I'm going to start posting some of my own poetry. Because maybe things I've struggled with and figured out, will be helpful to someone else along the way. Peace, Rani

1979

I need a savior
Who is stronger
Than the troubles of this life

I need an anchor
That pulls tighter
Than the tumult and the strife

I need a master
Who is bolder
Than the ones who hold me slave

And when someone comes up to me
And says "gimme"
He says

"I already gave"
