I Am Not For Sale Here is my entry to a contest operated by @avie018. I hope you will enjoy this poetry of mine inspired by the movie "Get Out", a horror film, directed by one of my favorite directors of all time, Jordan Peele. Check out her contest in this link: https://read.cash/@avie018/poetry-contest-bae223e6 A little insight about the movie Get Out: It's about a black man named Chris who was silently lured by his girlfriend, Rose, and her family, whose brain is about to be swapped by a man who bought him during a family weekend. Rose's family kidnaps or lures black people to be sold as either a slave or a companion. Hope you enjoy my poem. **I AM NOT FOR SALE** `The sun sets for a reason` `A reason that everything has an end` `It starts its day to fulfill a mission` `A mission to make all messages from God to be sent` `I have been locked inside a cell where I lost the key to get out` `I have been wandering the city in my mind where my imagination has ran out` `My love assumed that I am not for free, to be thrown in a prison to work like a man` `My weakness has given him the strength to lure me, the weakness I call trust for someone` `My instinct had been telling me to stop this nonsense` `I trusted him, but apparently I had been blind by the glasses of love that has lenses` `My worry is not to be able to see the sun tomorrow` `Since tears and grips are what fills my sorrow` `I hope I can get out of this home before everyone` `It's the only way to survive after being locked by someone.`
