Your will will have no hold on me
Nor sway over my choices
Or pull in my thoughts

Your hands will not map out my path
Nor choose my destination
Or direct my journey

Your presence will leave no taint on my heart
Nor doubts in my mind
Or ice in my soul

Your words will not choke out my hope
Nor alter my dreams
Or nurture my fears

Your actions will not dictate my own
For I am as I am
And I will not be bent
