I want to go! I want to go! I want to go!: A poem 

If somebody asks me he’ll give me a penny for my thoughts, 

what would I say? How would I agglomerate my thoughts 

into a metropolis of standpoint? Look at me! Take a good look 

at me! The surreptitious have had their way. I am no changeling 

to their whims. But I am made a corner to their clandestine! 

So, in my nook and cranny, I say I want to go from this world.  

I don’t want the pennies, I don’t want the march of the brigade  

beckoning me that I must do duty to an illegitimate cause one more day… 

and one more day… thereon..till my life is whiled away! I can no longer be 

affected by the sound effects of treachery dragging me by the  

hair strands to pull off their victories. I do not want to be a plaything 

that culminates what villainy claims as the fate of the world. I’ve done a supreme  

sacrifice that nobody acknowledges for the means of their own  

leverage. I don’t believe any more in the sunrise laughing at my eyes. 

The cooks of crook take the cradle. The moon is not mine. And I am 

not seawater brine. The more I think of tomorrow, the more I want to 

go! The wish master is not my bedfellow. I am not pregnant with expectation 

to be in labor for a child of the future. I don’t want the motherhood of lives 

that are taken by evil! I have no choice! I have no voice! And if I have a voice, 

I insist I want to go! The treachery leaves me with no need to carry on anymore!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
