I Want To / I Don’t Want To

Writer: Rickisha O'NealRickisha O'Neal

I want to write a poem starting with my name

I don’t want to be sad when I do it

I want to express myself with out feeling shame

I don’t want to be mad that I’m moving


I want to be normal

I don’t want to be normal

I want to be cordial

I don’t want to ignore you


I want the old me

I don’t want the new school

I don’t want want to die



If I do not live free,

How will I survive?
