It doesn’t matter
when and how it started—
those first moments of the inner wildness,
The ones that stirred you
till you had to notice
Once you noticed
you had to pay attention
Once you paid attention
it had to grow
and will
Till suddenly it overthrows the systems
Colossal though they are,
and comprehensive, and entrenched
that claimed to rule you for so very long
Those systems have no power
against inexorable wildness
that always follows
the laws of your true essence
You will never again be tame
and you will know
that being good
has nothing to do with following someone else’s rules
and everything to do with being you.

“That in a person which cannot be domesticated is not his evil but his goodness.” – Antonio Porchia
I'm really likin' this point of view.
