Independence

a poem by Paanini

Deep in the dark abyss
In the soft glow of awareness,
I long for the light
I fight for the freedom
Months pass by…
My struggle continued.

The day dawns
And the umbilical breaks.
Two hands pull me out
Out of my secure womb
As fear grips me
I resist.
I fight.

I long for the secure shell
And the deluding darkness
Do I want to go back?
I do not know.
