CHILD
I have eyes, and I can see
You cannot blind the world from me
You cannot draw the curtain closed
To cut me off from what I chose
You cannot hold me, wrapped and safe
And starve my soul into a wraith
For at the moment of my birth
You have loosed me on the earth
Long ago I cut the ties
That bound me to your well-meant lies
In this world I choose my path
For I have learned to face its wrath
You swore that you would never leave
My side, but I am weapon sheathed
On mantelpiece, I lived so long
Waiting, craving to be drawn
And now the battle has been reached
And in its climax, bittersweet
Through these passing years, you’ve known
I could not always be your own
Through crucible we each must pass
And each life outlive the last
You cannot guide me anymore
Though trials life may hold in store
