Patience Poem by Isaac Yaw Osei

If I can't help you,
If I don't help you,
I won't involve you.
Oh know! You don't have me
You can't have me
You won't have me
You can never have me
You will never have me
Maybe, someone else's got me
Maybe, I want to be near me
Left to find what keeps me
What makes my mind free to free me?
Unless you beside, O! Wish me well
To be close, not closer; to you
To this third owe self-love true
War of alone, to war alone
And not to feel lonesome
But ‘to be' especially to what this inner self wants.
Peace then will dwell at where my love prob'ly is
And I, who lived today, enjoy the present
With how fair or fare has this life?
You guess!
