“A Few of My Goals”


I intend to spend much more time with myself
And indulge in the wealth of living.
I will further exclude any thoughts of suicide from my mind
And no longer will I hide behind the masks I create,
Which I've used
To shield myself from life’s important tasks—
The ones I usually debate.

No longer will I be troubled,
But never will I be obedient!
