Absolution

I am not of you.
i am not from you.
how can i become you?
i am not like you.
i don't want to be.
you are a prisoner of your own self- and you can't get out.
i hear you crying, but you won't let me in.
i'm different.
i am a prisoner of you.
i- as my own self,
am free- i am not free.
you won't let me be.
you- so scared for yourself.
and i am being
held back by your inanity.
you- so afraid to let go.
you might become more like me-
free.
who i am.
where i'm going.
you- looking for parts of you in me. you will not find them there.
i am not of you.
i cannot be you.
i am not from you.
i will not become you.
set me free.
