Dear John Letter....

Listen,
It's not you... It's me.
You see...
I've allowed you to dictate my outcomes
before giving myself the chance
of elaborating on the plan to take the unbeaten path.
You made the image of conforming a uniformity
and in my naivety
my biggest "success" became my easiest failure
I simply don't think our fabrics mesh well.
The tigers & leopards don't co-reign in nature
So why should our ying & yang debate her.
Don't get me wrong,
You've been the salt to my concrete breaking ice
and the down comforter to my cold nights

...but I've heard of a place where it doesn't snow & the sun always shines....

Now at times this seperation won't feel right
but I must admit you stifled my growth in the midst of your fright.
In your inferior mind
you were afraid to be left behind
..so now i must sever all ties.
Because when we began to collaborate
I lost the choice to even have a voice
... and I like the way I sound.
And though at times you kept me well rounded,
You stopped molding me while time gained his distance.
So even is you miss this
my best wish is to leave you...
...the old me....
between this pen and paper.
No longer can I let my future waver....
The next page is calling....


Thank you for everything
-A Better Me
