Far away

Here I am trying to reach out to you and you keep me at arm's reach.
I reach for you and grasp air, are you really there.
You try to keep me in a box that you control-but out I go.
I will not be pinned in or held down.
I am free and if you cannot see it that is your blindness.
You are the one who's vision is clouded.
You cannot see the truth you can only see the pain of your own mistakes.
You are the one who has caused this pain and turmoil.
I try to help you see past the abscesses but you dwell in your own pit of despair.
I will not go there and I will not be pulled there.
I will reach for a better place of peace and solitude.
I am not afraid I am not afraid.
I love you.
