Existence

- To escape,
escape this sullen existence -

EXISTENCE

I wish that I could fly away
Be by myself
With nothing but the wind beneath
And the sky above.

Nothing but the greeness of the earth
for miles without end,
not a trace of a grey building.

Would it be better if I could just leave?

To grow gills and follow the river
to the endless sea,
and become one with creatures
so alien they might as well be

Or to fade like a ghost
into the stillness of another world
and observe
as I always have
the life of the living
to feel devoid of emotion yet revel
in watching other people express theirs

And finally to be absent
of any thought
to be worryless
penniless
and unexisting
to vanish finally and be no more...
Those are the things that I want to be
