To you,
the past
defined me.
The way I spoke
offended you.
If there was such
a light as you
described then
why did you attempt
to change me?
Change my entirety,
change who I am.
Perhaps it was the
way I whispered
my anxiety and doubts
that scared you,
or perhaps it was
just your own.
I know now that
you cage me still
under your daggers
and soft feathers
I use my light
to carry on with
my life,
now ridden of
your awfulness.
But you continue to
push me down,
even from afar.
Oh so cruel.
It is not I
who needs to
change,
it's you.

But you continue to

Oh so cruel.
