I want to go deeper.
To push the boundaries of what is to be done.
To find a different route on this blocked road.
I want the blade to dig deeper,
So the blood smears my lifeless body.

I want to go farther.
To leave this old life behind.
To make new peace with the life of love I desire.
I want my feet to wander farther,
So I will end up somewhere and never look back again.

I want to go longer.
To feel one emotion at a time.
To not shut out the ones that I have just allowed in.
I want my mind to last longer,
So I can make sense of the lie I am living.
~a.k.
