I Need A Break Poem by Tebogo Angela Poen

I thought I needed a break from life
But honestly speaking i need a break from human beings
I might also need a break from being wife
Need it from all sorts of livings

Sorry if this appears to be a hate speech
I know at times my view can be out of reach
I'll try not to sound too rich
Before u call me b*tch

If I could make one understand
Surely we can all stand and,
Find ways to collect the lost and mend
Their sense of belonging to the land

We have been socialised into thinking that things should only be done in a certain way
The reason some of us seen to be going astray
Being rebels that won't obey
The reason some of us just want to go far away
Where no one would edit our ways

I really thought I needed a break from life
But honestly speaking i need a break from human beings

I want to spread my wings, feel free
To soar higher than an eagle
Without anyone telling me how it's done
Except God leading me

Can't I for once take off this musk?
It's now becoming a burden and curse like the elephant's tusks
Is that too much to ask?
Would u even call it a task?

If so.. Leave me alone
Let me do things on my own
You don't own my bone
In case of emergency, I'll switch on my phone
And probably set the loudest tone
But don't just barge into my zone
Unless u desperately need a loan

Cause I really need a break from human beings
