Rara Avis

Tell me again
That I'm wrong
That I'm simply too much work
That you never meant to hurt me
That you were just trying to be helpful
Tell me again
How I need to change
How I am all kinds of filthy
That I'm willfully disobedient
That I'm of no use
Anymore
Evermore
Never will be
Never was
Nemo ego
Tell me again
I need to be sure
Tell me I'm a lost cause
Tell me I'm just not the right type
For you and all of yours
Your circle, your expectations
Your opinions
Tell me once again
So I can fly away
Memento mori, rara avis
