Horizon

That horizon, straight ahead,
that is my horizon.
No one can take it from me.
Not even you,
with your blank stares
and your doubting
and your degradation
and your guilt.
You can take
my heart, my sanity,
my soul, my body,
but you cannot take my sunrise,
or my sunset.
I have a future despite you
and in spite of you,
I will sail to the horizon,
with the moon to guide me
and return with stars at my side.
