Enduring Atonement

You turned my well intentioned rational
onto its head and created a power struggle
Where you placed yourself above me
And above my morality and judgements
And demanded an apology from me

The belief that you know my patterns
That you can predict my mood
Is more than the belief I will ever allow
You to truly know of me
But know you are wrong

Know that never would you have told me
That I had regained your trust
But that endless timeline you offer me
Is insulting, degrading, and ego-driven
And I kneel to no one.
