I wish I could disappear,
Whenever I want,
From the drama called life,
From the cacophony of the day,
No judgement passed,
No explanation sought.
I wish I could leave,
As birds leave their nests,
As a dewdrop vanishes from the blades,
Or as floating clouds hide behind
the mountains on day break.
The more time I stay,
I feel claustrophobic,
Difficult to breathe,
Difficult to exist,
Difficult to be,
Me.
