I Tried to Tell You
I can't be tied down;
I defy your need
to subject me
to the order
of your chaos.
My organization
is a mist
that talks
of wind
and the waves
that celebrate
an age
of piercing
subjectivity.
Look into who I am
and you will find
yourself looking back
and nodding;
go ahead and make your move
and don't look for my approval.
I will be the one
holding a candle
in the darkness
of your lost nature.
Go on;
don't wait for me.
I will be
on my own road.
I cannot be made
into your excuse
for your not becoming
what you dreamed.
I am my own muse.
Your success or failure
will not determine
what the outcome
of my life will be.
I hear a music
you may
never understand.
This is
just how it is.
Live
with it.
