The Journey

Travel makes me nervous, it makes me feel sick

Long unyielding hours, they're a sick little trick

Anticipation does not quell my anxiety, I am troubled and bothered by the rocking and over filled capacities. Flights are rocky, stale and stinky

And people are rude in the tubes that fly in the sky, concerned about their own selves and their own anxiety

I dont like the headache or ringing in my ears

I dont like the stale air or the person kicking my chair

My skin goes dry and so does my hair

The journey is worse than the destination, I fear but how else do you get there?

At least in car rides you have your own bubble,  your own world to insulate and hours to speculate

Sometimes the journey is part of the cost, a path we must take, no matter the personal loss.
