Independent

Privacy
I yearn to be private
Inside and out
I yearn to be independent

A game I can’t wait to play
From not being dependent
On humans
To providing for myself

Being independent
Financially independent
I yearn to make ends meet

Age stares blankly
She says it’s too late
I stare back
Expecting an answer;

I walk out the door
With the intuition that
Being dependent
Will finally strangle my neck
To the grave

In search for my outcome
Life hangs over my head

Being independent
Wouldn’t be easy
Like the narrow path
That leads to Heaven

Only a few find that
But the upright in heart
With purity and faith
Walk through the door

Life according to time
Delays crisscrossing
Without seconds turning into miniscule

The urge to be independent
In my youthful blood
Keeps me up all night

Through the sleepless nights
I engage in thoughts
With my mind
Calm and quiet

My curtains even have a life
Better and wealthier than I do
How sad

Love knocks on the door
In the moment when
Independency is my target
Shaking her off
Pressing on toward the goal

Yet no support whatsoever
Not from family
Neither from friends

My heart really
Was born to be independent
Getting there; I know not how

Nature in turn
Gets me to my Maker
The one who
According to the time of life
Enriches the gestures of farms and ammunition

The day of my mind
Being manifested
With the price
Paid in full

I will step out
Fully bossy
With the right and wrong
Both enlisted in my mind

Taking up
Life’s full responsibility
The independent lady
She will take over

Only to Him
I look up to
The dreams of my eyes
Definitely shall prevail
Like a pregnant woman
At the time of birth
