Can’t Deny My Love

existential angst, poetry

I don’t want to be here;
I don’t want to be who I am;
I don’t like it here anymore;
I don’t understand happiness;
I don’t want to be anything more;
I don’t like the array of options;
I don’t want to ignore any options;
I don’t understand the choices;
I don’t like the complexity;
I don’t like the simplicity;
I don’t like the view from here;
I don’t want to change position;
I don’t think grass is greener;
I don’t want to do this yet again.
