I Tried to Tell You

I can't be tied down;
I defy your need
to  subject me  
to the order
of your chaos.
 
My organization
is a mist
that talks  
of wind
and the waves
that celebrate
an age
of piercing
subjectivity.
 
Look into who I am
and you will find
yourself looking back
and nodding;
go ahead and make your move
and don't look for my approval.
 
I will be the one
holding a candle
in the darkness  
of your lost nature.
 
Go on;
don't wait for me.
I will be  
on my own road.
I cannot be made
into your excuse  
for your not becoming
what you dreamed.
 
I am my own muse.
Your success or failure
will not determine
what the outcome  
of my life will be.
 
I hear a music
you may  
never understand.
 
This is
just how it is.
 
Live  
with it.
