I Will Leave You Alone

Your words are heard throughout my changing mind
Saturating every part of my senses
Profusely renouncing all of my kind affections
Can you not see me building my shield of defenses

Your exasperation with life itself crushes my resolve
To see this world with you in a better light
As you seem to distrust each one who crosses your path
When I know each dog I see does not bite

All your subtle insinuations, unbendable points of view
Places a shadow on the light here in my heart
Yet I will not permit you to ever steal my joy
Even if from your presence, I must forever part

I have always been in awe of your judgment and your wisdom
Deeply respected your opinion as your own
However, I will not be forced to think and act as you do
So for now, I will leave you alone

This poem has hit upon a spot. A sense of knowing what one knows may not be what one wants but maybe in both individuals but for reasons unknown theres more than meets the eye here

Wow! This is so compelling, I was riveted to every line in
every stanza. I absolutely absorbed the message that you
delivered in this piece. Nicely Done Neva...

I like this. I think a lot of people can relate, and it's very well written. Great work :D
