Moving Out is One Thing, Moving On is Beast Unto Itself
I need a new place
No fun
I was the only one
That never got a chance
But what then
When I get to this new place
It will still be the same face
Maybe just different tastes
Can there really be that much of a difference
From all that I have had here?
Maybe it’s just the fear
The fear of letting go of familiar
And catching spontaneous
Break up the routine
Disrupt the monotony
Liven up the dullness that is our lives
Because life is too short to only
Dream of what we desire
When it is right in front of our faces to reach out and
Touch
Life’s brevity does not allow for both
Wallowing and fulfillment
Its unforgiving nature is apathetic
To our choking
And why shouldn’t it be?
We are concerned only with ourselves
So much so that we don’t notice the goodness surrounding us
Until someone else does
And then we turn that loss into a ploy to
Evoke sympathy from others
To regurgitate it as hatred
Spewing it at any passerby
So maybe I don’t need a new place after all
To mend my human downfalls
I can keep the same face
Just have to keep in mind how people view it
And what radiates from behind it
That I can change from
Any place
