I’m Not Wanting
A hand broke through
the bounds of heaven
to collect my soul,
filch my spirit, demand
my suffrage of reality;
this is what i had to say
if saying said i said this:
i’m not wanting.
take it all for all is
all i am;
dirty, tainted, polluted corruption
the little girl i never was or am i still
sitting under that parched tree
no, i long since walked across that river;
it’s now, it’s now, it’s never;
living here in an epitome,
a picture, a false pretense,
an illusion of what life
should be, should not be;
i’m not wanting.
delusional. who, me,
it’s just a word I sought
out to cease, to breathe, to please;
there’s no escaping
from myself;
even dreams realize
that this is this and
that is that;
it’s either this or it’s that,
this is that;
it’s everything, it’s nothing, it’s anything;
there are no contradictions;
simply diluted truths, factual lies,
bitter remorse;
i’m still not wanting.
i never was.
i never will be.
