Years of dedication
To become who I am
Temptations pass me by
Not part of my intentions
Fulfillment not sought
Through a title or profit
But through my words and actions
These are all one truly has
My life is my own
All that I can trust
My life is my own
Through self examination
Suppress the feelings of hatred
Overcome its grasp
Release through creation
Freedom calls at last
As long as I have myself I am never alone
Till final breath
Flesh becomes bone
