Wanting
I want to walk 4,000 miles across the east cost
Until my feet bleed only holy water
And not bright red flashes of pain
I want to feel the wind in my hair
Learn how to keep it tied in my lips
So instead of talk, I sing
I want to test my body, discover its barriers
Break it in, find all it’s worth
Only to keep pushing harder
I want to feel numb and alive
Allow nature to fill me, replenish me
Claim me back as its own
I want to feel supernatural
Like a creature of light and color
Escaping the tethers of earthly pain
I want to learn how to think in riddles
Distract myself from all that is present
Take a holiday from real
I want to feel the distance behind me
The tangible accomplishment, the taste of pride
Sliding over and under my tongue
But most of all, I want to stop wanting
Stop wishing, stop dreaming, stop hoping
And start walking towards the first day of my life
this fishbowl life is all they need
