Not here, not today

#Not_here_not_today
catching loose knees, wonder if I would run here,
how far would I even reach, when I'm just a boy in
man's body. This threatens my present and could
foresee damages bearing fruits in my tomorrow,
here I stand my grounds or lose forever, could hear
my breath in a beeping dying sequences, not here not today, though I hold my pen in my hand and
my obituary paper before me, with this trigger
ready to splash my brains.., 

Today death is not the
meal I'm prepared to have...

Wisdom and tactics are for the noble and old, I'm
young even to make meaning out of this, my predicament obliges I choose, but my body refuse
to surrender, so much I haven't touched in this
world, so much I have to live for, death kiss be
goodbye, no matter how informal this farewell is,
not today not here...

See there, in the far reach of my lame eyes, the sun shines, birds sings, could catch some echoes of
happiness, this tiny hands and legs, are to grow not
here not today but there and tomorrow, before my
heart beat reach its climax, before my eyes reach
their blurry stage, before my hair grow grey, before
my skin wrinkles, not here not today 

but there is my lab for experiment, I refuse to meet my
ancestors before I meet my first lover, my first born,
my first nephew, refuse to surrender my first
everything here and not today, refuse you be my
last everything, not here, not today
