He and I

he did not make me whatever it is that i am

he does not control what i do with my hands

he did not define what thoughts run through my mind

he does not dictate what words i will find

he did not allow me to break free of this grasp

he does not stop me from completing this task

he did not speak when i told him my aims

he does not participate in my intricate games

he did not stop me from becoming fully fledged

he simply pushed me when i got too close to the edge

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
