You Might Say It’s Self Destructive But You See It’s More Productive Than If I Were To Be Happy
I really want a change in my life
and I want to do something
stupid and drastic
like packing up everything
taking all the money I can
and traveling across oceans
or perhaps
I’ll fling myself into someone’s arms
and I’ll claim it to be love
regardless of
whether or not
I’ll know otherwise
a girl asked me on a date the other day
and I said yes
but she asked with the condition
that we’ll do it when it’s hot and sunny out
and it’s Minnesota so that’s eternities away
she asked me to go to a bar with her
which leads to another thing
I could take up drinking
and be among the presence
of all the other blackout artists
but at the end of the day
I am rooted to things
that keep me from being
entirely
self destructive
so I just want to sleep until things are drastically different

Beautiful poetry. Sometimes I'd get this buzzing in my head, sort of like I'm missing out on something important. Like I could be doing something else, be somewhere else, with someone else, that would change me, teach me, develop my talents and skills. Backpacking across Europe without the intent of arriving at any certain destination, is what I'd like to be doing. But like you said, there is always something in the present moment holding me back. I'll look back to these days and laugh to myself as I climb the mountains of Finland and explore the depths of Prague.
