Do Not Tell Me
i cannot be told who i am
i am not afraid of the outside
that individual land
where recruits march but on their own
because once you are out there
it is just one step from being alone
who needs a castle
if there is no one to share the throne?
James Garratt – Wednesday 14th January 2004
