It is

They taught me rules, no laws as such:
"You own what's yours - it's fair;
If not it isn't yours to touch,
To take, to love, to share."

To those who wish successful lives
They give some simple orders:
"Just know your limits, draw your lines
And keep in mind the borders."

I fully understand their need
For labeling and dividing
All things and sights, and more, indeed,
All ways of human guiding.

The only thing that can be heard,
Not understood is this:
Why do they think, this timeless bird,
This temple of spirit, clay and dirt,
This endless wonder full of worlds,
That strips me of my lines and words,
It isn't mine?
It is.

It’s a powerful reminder to embrace who we truly are without getting caught up in other people's expectations. I love how your text emphasizes that our identity and spirit are ours to claim, no matter what anyone else says. A really thought-provoking read.

P.S. Hope I understood your point correctly :)

Oh, you've got it perfectly right. :)
Yes, our spirit, our identity, our perception of all the inner and the outer worlds, and our reality itself too (for it's always a subjective one) are only ours to feel, to discover, to understand and to claim... And "to embrace who we truly are" is a crucial task, I'm sure...

Thank you very much for the deep understanding and for such a wonderful response, for finding the right words for the right thoughts, it really means a lot to me...
