Philosophy you know too well, liescence

I chose myself and my own path,

leading me to my very own chance to choose you,

and this I swear is true,

but it would be a lie if I was to say

that the reason I chose that way

was simply curiosity,

and not running from those hands that had shaped me.

I chose myself, and who I am today,

escaping that who sought to control,

and who had shaped into misery, my own life in darkness.

If I had not weathered a storm within my own pitiful boat,

fighting the waters and waves of hands which tossed me to and fro,

which shaped me and broke me,

I could not have made me,

and so I say, that the reason I am who I am today,

is not only me, and not only you,but monsters and rivers, mountains, and flowers
