Drifter

My head feels full..
Like I’ve eaten too much information already today
“Stick a pin in it..”
…dreaming nightly of your kiss
walking through days like clenched fists…
Hours alone in strange places
Stacks of books not worth reading
Upside down chairs on desks remind me of childhood
I’m no authority figure
They handed me this position
I need to escape
From this town
From my head
I’ve never felt so trapped
I’ve always been comfortable here
I need to leave so I’ll want to come back
The beaches are calling my name
But when I get there they give me the cold shoulder
Perception is more than how you look at something
It’s how something looks back
So amazed how something inanimate--time--can make me sad
I’ll be gone sooner than you think.

It seems that your mind is racing with the constant thought of change and progression/moving forward especially when you are currently facing somewhat of a struggle with where you currently are in life. You are doing things that you dont really enjoy (like lets say going to drawing class? ;)) and everything is becoming more and more of a chore… so you want to get away. At least a change of scenery would provide a change in one aspect of life and break the unsatisfying reality for a moment so you can regain the (mental) strength and go back to everyday life (and continue with the struggle?).
