Frequent Flyer Emotions Get A Fucking Travel Discount

Since I have the nerve to exist
I might as well be
I ought to feel and process instead of running away
and I’ve noticed that I keep trying to escape my life
literally and figuratively
which doesn’t leave any room to actually live it
quite frankly my life isn’t big enough it seems
or as easy as I’d like
but fear of mediocrity isn’t my actual concern
I’m fine being a bright light on a speck in the corner of the universe
I’ve no qualms anymore with being the favorite writer of only one soul that ever existed
the problem is becoming
that it’s too expensive to stay on the lam
from one’s own fate of utter oblivion
for caring and worrying about what others think
because their labels decide what I deserve to eat
This is what is really keeping me prisoner
wanting to fit in for safety when there is no such thing
I’ve opted to die instead of shuck and jive so many times
literally and figuratively
that the core things that make me, us
can’t bear the weight of disapproval
but that’s all I need to flee for freedom
be alright with being just alright
be fine with just a modicum
wake up and go to bed with the same persona on
because it always fits
somehow I’ve got to switch up instead of give up
I’ve got to unpack my bag and simply stand
what I’m built to withstand
since I have the nerve to exist
I might as well be
me
for us
