No more clandestine messages
No more long-distance whispers in the dark.
Eradicated from my life,
The false self-serving egocentricities
Of something that never was.

It just gets boring
The games people play
Just to falsely build themselves up
At the expense of other people.
Being used is no fun.

Freedom begins with ourselves.
A boundary was set,
And will not be undone.
There are magnificent people
Waiting to come into this life.
I can wait.
