Sometimes I wish I could escape this place. That I could
just close my eyes and be somewhere else. -Anywhere- else. I close my eyes
tightly and envision some beautiful place, that's warm and surrounded by clear
blue watered beaches and swaying palm trees. For a moment I even consider
clicking my heels together, that it would take me home because clearly this
isn't it. My thoughts run rampant, none of them making more sense than the
last. I open my eyes again, laying my head back on the tree I’m leaning against.
I can’t help but feel this way; nothing in my life feels right anymore. Nothing
fits together, as if I have puzzle pieces to several puzzles mixed into one
box. I struggle to find the right pattern, something that will give me the
picture I need but it’s no use. Everyday darker than the last, as if the sun
and the moon are simultaneously falling away and my days grow dimmer. If only
there was a secret code, some sequence of buttons I could push that would make
my life simpler, more logical. I shake my head at my own thoughts, but its life
and if there was some special ‘easy’ button I’m certain we would all not only
know about it but we would push it every day. Each of us struggles to find the
right path that will lead them to the perfect person, the perfect life. The
picket fence and the little dog, but, I walk through life wondering if I’ll
ever find that. If it’s written in my stars and if it’s not where might I end
up instead? Some place better? Some place worse? Is it too much to ask that I
find that seamless combination that just fits? My eyes trail over the scene
before me, the green grass, and pink, purple, and yellow wild flowers sprinkled
across the field bringing splotches of color through-out the emerald meadow. It
brings so much peace and yet at the same time only increases the turmoil within
me. Leaving me more conflicted than I was before. The picturesque scene that
encircles me was enough to make any one normal feel better, but as my life
suffers greatly from routine. The habitual nature of most, as it consists of
the beastly creatures that shouldn’t exist by the light of the day and I’m one.
If that doesn't doom me, I don't know what will.
