Take Me As I Am

Leave me alone please! I can no longer tolerate your ways, Take your silly advice away And donate it to charity, Instead of burdening My delicate and forthcoming mission With long formed cultural habits! I have reached the point Where you must take me As I come to you! I will not learn new ways For mine are already cemented In trust and constant love! Like a tree first planted, The seed of an unwilling New generation Left wild to grow freely In the unrestrained air Of the wood possessed By a non-earthly proprietor, Saved then and molded Into manageable bits, Cast off for an eternity, Dried out of all its moisture And tossed into eternal flames Which never die! I cannot be planted Into this ground again And be made to grow Like anything else... Matters once destroyed, Will not return To its original form Or in the same structure! I am a man with a vision And a clear mission: To spread throughout the World, The message of Love and Peace! I am a single soul Just passing through Knowing that I will be back In another life!
