No One

Today I want to be no one

I need this just for a day

Today I want to be no one

Will you let me be this way?

No one’s wife

No one’s worker

No one’s daughter

No one’s mother

No one’s friend

No one’s sister

No one’s teacher

No one’s preacher

No one’s cook

No one’s maid

No one who’s responsible you get laid

No one’s worrier

No one’s shopper

No one’s reader 

No one’s fighter

No one’s leader

No one

Just me

Under constraint of a heavy blanket

Feeling so free

Before I was all of this

I was only me

Unaware I was always enough

Now I’m too much

Not pouring into my self

I’ve neglected her too long, even her health

I just need some space to freely be

My sanity depends on it, don’t you see? 

Today I want to be no one

I need this just for a day

Today I want to be no one

Will you let me be this way?
