I want a goddamn break
I want to shave my head
I want to dye it purple
I want drag make-up
I want bold lips
I want screaming
I want cursing
I want high heels
and a low cut dress
I want a boob job
until tomorrow
I want purple walls
I want a witch and to be one
I want potions
I want the future in a magic ball
I want tarot cards
I want to be an art teacher
I want the universe to whisper in my ear that I am going the right way
I want three days of silence
and three days of concerts
I want hoops
I want a tongue piercing
I want a nose ring
I want nails two inches long
and shiny all over
I don’t want to do dishes
I want plants all over my house
I want kicking and screaming and getting listened to
I want to raise my voice
because I’m being disrespected
I want to flip them off
I want financial security
I want truffle chips that won’t make my hearing go away
I want love and touching
I want a baby
I want teenage children
I want to retire
I want to run away to Europe
for the socialism and universal healthcare
I want a book
I want to be the author of the book
I want a story out there that will not make me dead to people
I want to stop crying
I want to keep writing
I want to die
I want to stop living in this situation and move on the new one
I want to burn my house down so I don’t have to declutter
I want to move
if only to fulfill my theory of being able to move faster now
I want to be rocked to sleep
I want to lie down and feel the sun
I want the smell of rain
I want to love what I’m doing and feel satisfied at the end of the day
