Permission to be Great: Denied

I don't need your permission to be great.
I can do that on my own.

I feel your desire to tear me down
and rebirth me, dependent on you.

But that's not my calling so lower your hand.
Try making my weakness into your purpose &
you will fall on the blade used
to etch the boundaries of my dreams.
