Mind Over Matters

To escape the consequence of my childhood mischief,

I erased their memories of my rebellious resistance.

Their minds could chase but never catch me in a lie,

the gaps in time and space were my perfect alibi.

The author of my past- I could control, alternate, delete.

The forging of my destiny was grounded in deceit. 

Their lust for perfection compelled my correction, 

their threats of rejection justified my intervention. 

Now forever I'll be their sweet answered prayer, 

and in spite of my strength, it's the burden I bear.
