Liberation. Redemption. Freedom. Realization.
At last!

I can give you another name.
Reclaim and refuse!
this perfect box you push me in

No more will I dance
Within the boundaries of
Your vision
Don’t think you can anchor me
and pin my sky
to your Lapel

I will not bear the burden
Of your insecurities
And I sure as hell
Won’t let you defuse
And fuel yourself with
My inferno

I do not exist to mend
Your flaws, or let you deepen mine

I cannot be coveted
Or cathected by you anymore
I’ve defaced the shrine
You’ve built around me like
A prison wall

I have been passive
And will stand aside
No longer

I recognize my ability
To snap these strings
At last.
