I have risen past
Your distaste,
Drown in your illreguard
Until I could suffer
Without breath no longer
Harried, and confused
Beyond the point
Where puzzlement
Has become an old friend,
An uncertain enemy.
I can take this
No longer.
I am not willing to
Bathe in your tears
To dress your wounds
Created in your own cruelty.
Devised in your cantankerous.
Disillusioned ways.
You have set me to pieces
Too many times
And I will stand for it
No Longer.
I am not a puppet
To parade on your
Maester's strings.
I am not your patsy
And I never was..
I can put up
With our deceivement
Of yourself,
No longer
