As you Please

Rip my head from my shoulders

Tare me to pieces and rearrange my caging

This is NOT my reality

I am something different than you see

 

I will fly when I am finished here

Far away from your critique and mis-read

None of what you say penetrates

My knowledge and heart held above this carcass

 

Scoff, Gasp, assume you are the victor

Your Ignorance, your obvious weakness

Blinds you to the tinge of Empathy

But I will forgive and forget you...
