If only



I wouldn't hurt, it wouldn't feel



I would emotionally detach.



 



I wouldn't cry nor lament



I would be unknown to sorrows



 



I wouldn't sigh! wouldn't exhale



I would always be a fresh breath



 



I wouldn't flood in the memories



neither nostalgic for the unknown



I would shut the doors forever to my past



 



I would confirm to the norms



and be afraid of stigmas



I wouldn't interrogate



and hide behind your history



 



I wouldn't experience the joy



amid hurt and misfortune



 wouldn't liberate to taste



my dear freedom!



 



I wouldn't think, wouldn't ponder



If only, I weren't a human being!
