I never wanted to be
a small matter
But I was conceived.
I never wanted to become
a bigger particle
But I somehow developed.
I never wanted to sense
my being
But I got aware of my existence.
I never wanted to feel
so helpless
But I was cocooned in this womb.
I never wanted to stay
stagnant
But she tried to stunt my growth.
I never wanted to swallow
this bitter taste
But she needed to push me out.
I never wanted to mix
with the elements
But I find myself decaying.
I never wanted to get drowned
in the dark
But I was not given the right to survive.
I wanted to shout
from this hidden depth
But it’s too late now to save her or me.
