Elikem’s Corner: Interested

You may have had my 21 but you will not get my 22.

22 is about keeping, I am no longer interested in refracting

I am no longer interested in entertaining these twisted narratives

I am no longer interested in payments and registrations 

I am no longer interested in the bruises or the headaches

I am no longer interested in the restrictions and regulations

I am no longer interested in the empty “lectures” and avoided questions

I am no longer interested in lengthy iMessages and sporadic phone calls 

I am no longer interested in the things of 21

I am interested in freedom, in change

Leaving behind the things I was conditioned to know 

And seeking the things I have always truly wanted to know

I am interested in rest, in pleasure

I am interested in doing nothing, saying nothing 

I am interested in love and solitude

I am interested in all things Elikem.

I am interested in my 22.
