The Vessel
It would be a long journey to get to you by boat, but I know that you'd appreciate the effort. Do I know that? No, I only assume, because where you are, is where I want to be.
But, I'm afraid of the ocean; the vastness of it. It's unpredictable and powerful. I'd take the chance, though, to be far away from this place.
The desire to "run away" has always been within me. Anywhere is better than here. Too many "ghosts" surround me, and I'm not strong enough to ignore them. I'm withering away and losing myself the longer I stay.
My car could easily take me far from here, but I never think of it as a way out. It's attached to this place, to reality. I'm always thinking about getting away by boat, plane, even an R.V. I tell myself that one day I will. One day I'll just pack up and leave. I'll start somewhere new.
Oh, the possibilities that exist in that magical and mythical "one day."
I lack the courage to escape. I'll never navigate the ocean to find you. I'll never buy an R.V. and travel to places unknown. I'll never hop a plane to some random destination and stay there. So, I use my mind to travel. I have journeyed far and through time. It's the safest way to go in my opinion, much cheaper too. I can wander this metaphorical world with a clear head. I don't have to worry about money, food, shelter. I always have everything that I need and come across only the best kinds of people, or none at all, depending on my mood.
