It's not in me,
neither is it
in your configuration
and make up
to live in
another's skin.
In poise,
you cannot stand
for me.
You definitely,
cannot breathe
for me,
or think for me.
It baffles me,
how you
suddenly became,
the director
of my life,
when you can't
manage yourself.
I will have
to decline
your offer,
and say no
to you.
My path is mine
and mine alone.
Let me discover
it's valley's and
creeks and fountains.
Allow me to
follow this ancient
path to climb
my mountain.
Everyone must follow
their own path
to this ancient
ancestral territory.
The soul in
your tabernacle must
go through the
rigours alone.
It must be
purified by this
sacred fire burning
in my soul to
be pure.
Don't interfere with
the divine helpful
abilities to ennoble
me to become.
I am always
becoming that thing,
which I am.
