What Difference Would It Make? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I have prohibited my eyes,
From dripping to drop another tear.
Or allow my ears to hear,
Your assessment of where it is 'I' should be.
Or who it is I could become,
With a doing done to make impressions.
When I can rely on you to offer,
And 'unconditionally'...
Is your non-existing support that is guaranteed.
To know whatever opinion you give I can ignore.
That's how certain and determined I am,
To remain on my chosen path.
And not listen to your...

'Go ahead.
Say it.'

Even if you dared me,
What difference would it make?
