Freedom

I took a step back
And focused on the people around me;
I detached myself from relatives
And watched from afar.
No one missed me.
No one looked for me,
Then I realized something important.
I don’t need this muscle to pump blood.
I don’t need this life inside of me.
No one loves me,
So I’ll be here no more.
I want out!
