Let this serve
As my official letter
My letter of resignation
You have been my mentor
You have been my tutor
All the ways of my life
I have learned from you
I have been a good student
And am well versed in your words
They whisper to me all the days
I have shown myself approved
And have even taught others
The secrets you gave
But
As I wandered the world
I heard other whispers
Other truths and paths
And I began to see you as you are
I discovered your lessons
Are but lies
Your ways bring about ruin
Yours is a faith
I can no longer abide

I have grown weary
Of living by fear
I have grown
And I no longer want fear
To be my guide
