Chattel

Cut the umbilical cord
Tear it rip it smash it with a stone
Pound it hit it shear it
Teeth, blade, finger nails
Brake away from its cloying hold
A load on the heart
Churning emotions spinning earth
How much distance is enough?
How much is too much
Is it ever worth it?
Give in the battle will always be lost
It is imprinted in the DNA
23 chromosomes paid
