Escape


I need to escape

I need to feel
I need to search 
I need to find. 
I yearn to discover, 
To explore,
To intrigue
To uncover my soul. 
To journey amongst the world, my self, and my surroundings.
Step outside and yet inside
My thoughts, my love, myself. 
Enlighten, brighten, and also frighten my brain
My only being which hides under the transparent cloth of skin
Which does nothing yet clothe the spirit which remains trapped inside
Until I set it free
     which when will that be? 
When is the moment where my fantasies grab ahold of me and shake my innards with plans of taking me away and dropping me off in the dream I once had when I laid sound asleep.
