Onism

Onism (noun): The frustration of being stuck in just one body, that inhabits only one place at a time, which is like standing in front of the departures screen at an airport, flickering over with strange place names like other people’s passwords, each representing one more thing you’ll never get to see before you die—and all because, as the arrow on the map helpfully points out, you are here.

Or in other words

The Awareness of How Little of the World You'll Experience.

I would run away

I’d run away right now if

It meant being more

Then a body in a city

More then a statistic on

This planet

Theres something in me

That wants more

More then money 

More then a house or

A house

Every single day I hear it

Murmuring feel it

Crawling beneath my skin

Searching for a way out

I’d run away

If it meant

Actually living

And i’d never look back
