Peace Talks




I suppose
I can forgive
Others
For their projected
Limitations

In a gesture
Of 
Self Reconciliation

I must express
My profound sadness
That I 
Imposed them 
On myself

How dare 
Anyone presume
Their fears
Would become
My mandate

That my soul
Would be reduced
And purposed
To serve
Their agenda

I forgive myself
A misguided belief system
I understand
The consequential pain
As been the
Catalyst 
For the discovery of
And standing in 
Who I am

Lest I forget
Nobody
Can tear me
Asunder
From myself
Without 
My giving 
My consent 
To do so

Request denied!!
