I wish to not wish



I wish to be freed from my humanity
I wish I could be non more than a vessel for ponder
I want to write freely through my own will
I don't want to be a slave to my fodder

I wish I won't want
I wish I won't wish
I don't want to need
I just wish to think

trapped in an endless cycle
urge after urge, need after four
I want not to be stuck here anymore
I wish I could escape to a realm of wonder
where no needs are present, so I could finally ponder

What are we at the end of the day?
Dolls for our minds? Or prisons for the same?
We are just a culmination of matter animated in such a way
that makes us hunger

About this poem

I'm often disturbed by my human needs. being tossed around from urge to the next, it takes much of my time that I wish I could spend elsewhere, recently I've been pondering philosophical questions, and coming up with philosophies of my own.
