Tonight,
I must take my leave.

For the heart’s capacity- is met.

I cannot stay here now.

My true intent is known.
And I must work in secrecy.
So, I stow- away,
in the darkness.

I will escape.
I cannot exist as they demand.

I can only do-
as I do.

I don’t even get to choose what happens.

That is what they cannot grasp.

They cry for control and rule.
I claim no order.

They want me imprisoned with them.
I seek freedom.

Their call causes me to cringe.
I take my leave.

They look for me but soon forget.
I do not.
