! A Prayer For Life Poem by Rehan Hyder

! A Prayer For Life



I want to turn my skin inside out
I want everyone to see the monstrous
Flow of lust that I nurse with every breath

I want to trade down all esteem and respect
I want the icon of me to tumble and crash
And crush all agog prayers and the supplications

I want my tracheas to rhyme with the sea breeze
I want to break free from bondage of life....
For once.......................I want to live
