U-turn

I am thankful
For I have seen my flaws.
My humbleness has returned
At least on the inside.
I know now
How much more I have to climb
To reach the top
Where the sun shines unaltered.

I had no right
To ask it of you,
Yet you gave me
And still give me more.
I cage your life
And most - your heart,
So push me away
As you should have.

I won't explain, but it is not for you.
