Ownership

when will we own ourselves completely? The only thing i own are my problems and and problems of others. people come to me and explain how I need to help them, and I do, I take their problems just to try and help the people that I love. And I'm not sure those are very valuable, because to me they just feel like a huge burden.

They are a heavy blue and green neon backpack filled with problems, that feel like bricks. I know that later in the semester we are supposed to come up with 1000 uses for a brick but this isn't one of them. Because these bricks are not useful nor are they creative, they are just heavy.

 I don't own my car. I don't own my life. I don't own my food. I don't own my body. I don't own my room. I don't on my music. I don't own my shirt. I don't own my friends. I don't own anything. Actually I lied. I do own a few things but not everything in my life. I own my regrets, my art, and my problems.
GREAT.
