Live and Die

I wanted a normal life.

One ending in a white picket fence.

Living out my days with my one true love.

Then it came to my mind once

that, that is not- in fact,

a normal life at all.

That in this lifetime,

it was most rudely brought to my attention

that there is no such thing as normalcy.

No, not anymore.

It was long since been abandoned

And now, what do I wish for my life.

I'll tell you now, it is most definitely

not for the white picket fence

and to die in the arms of my beloved,

but to live as a free woman

to the end of my days.
