I want to leap
I want to freefall
I want to find what it means to defy the laws of gravity
And take back what’s mine.
I want to detach myself from this polluted world
And feel weightless
Worriless
I want to jump out of my muddled mind
And into the hands of the clouds
Into the hands of those radiant raindrops
Falling like kaleidoscopes
Over the destructed cities
I want to land
Into another place
Does this make any sense?
It’s not an analogy of darkness
It’s one of freedom
Freedom from all these ties with bound my weary limbs
Freedom from shackles of my responsibilities and thoughts
And relationships
Relationships which hurt all over
And relationships which I know cannot sustain
I want to fly
With my eyes watering from the blustery wind
Across the ocean
And look down to see an endless array of blue
Which shouldn’t be blue
I want to dive into that azure chaos
And swim to the bottom until my legs will not allow it
I want to grasp seaweed
Hold me down
Down below with the colors
With the gentle sand
I want to run
So far and so fast my heart makes a melodious tune
Which drowns out my racing thoughts
And leaves a perpetual ringing in my ears
I want to sprint to the ends of the earth until my shoelaces come undone
And sit underneath a willow tree
Sobbing with sweat
I want to scream my name
Over the canyons
And let the world know I exist
That I exist on planet earth
That I am an entity
And then I want to sleep
Until my mind muddles reality and imaginations
Until I think everything is how I envision it
Until I’m immobile and free
Until I realize I could be
Something that I never will be
Until I understand the consequences
And make sense of the next day
And the next day
And the next life
And never have to sweat again
Until the day that I want to leap
