I Wish

Melancholic~Onion

I wish I was an atom

Floating around aimlessly

No responsibility or care

Free of life & its living

 

I wish I was the invisible air

You’d breathe me in and I’d disappear

Ceasing to exist entirely

The moment I fill into your being

 

I wish I were the unspoken

The hundreds & hundreds of avoided things

Might be words or happenings

But then I’d be inconsequential

As not a being would mention a hint of me

 

I wish I was nothing

A ceaseless non-existent [It]

To be abandoned to an abyss

So I’d be free of watchful colored eyes

So I’d be a mindless… Heartless

Body-less mass of absolutely nought
