I especially like this poem, because in the simple act of not trying to
possess something (or someone) who cannot be possessed, true ownership can
come to those who don't ask for something by force. Love can only be given
freely, it can never be taken.

i like this poem because i can relate to it. i hate being bossed around.
so if somebody doesn't tell me to do something i'll do it. if they do askme
to do something or try to boss me around, i get mad at them, and sometimes
i'll do want they ask , but sometimes i won't
