Let me never be too blind
Or ignorant like them
I wish to not make me a stone
Battered by time and flow
let them not spill blood
In my name, or to humor me.
Otherwise be free to kill me
Let me lie. My truth will find light.

This poem is inspired by the powerful words shared by Amaya on Poetics Tuesday prompt.
Very powerful last line. Yes, death only makes the truth we held stronger.
I like the expression of hope in one’s truth finding light.
Beautifully done! I like the line. “let them not spill blood in my name…”
