Apprenticeship

Teach me what my books cannot
(For they are only pages...
Pages of a world not mine)
Teach me to let go -
Of the past,
The present,
The memories,
The life I once knew.
What is the reason
For clinging to the things
That were never really mine?
Teach me, teach me,
teach me!
Because I do not understand,
And my heart
(so stubborn and independent)
Has no owner's manual.
