Day 4
Its 12:25 on an early Wednesday morning.
Dreams regarding travelling have seemed to come alive; someone somewhere has breathed a heart beat into my newly found love. If all goes well I will leave on Monday morning for 5 days to go to a place called Pushkar in Rajasthan. The next week will be a time of rejuvenating for my soul, my lungs will not feel crushed and squeezed in this city air any more. I will breathe freely and freedom will run through my veins again. I long to feel the out of beat rhythm of the train that is taking me closer and closer to new experiences that I have spent my time and money on. My well earned holiday awaits my embrace. And I await the embrace of the sun beating down on my white skin. I want to be apart of the crowd that nobody knows, I want to blend into my surroundings and not be seen by anybody I know, not to be disturbed by and old friend or acquaintance. I want to feel my freedom under my wings, I want to fly in the thick of my built up frustration and slice the air like volcanic fire would go through ice.
Asia is my home, I could not picture my self anywhere else in the world, my body is not made for easy living. I am meant to have trouble with my life, so I can pick myself up and learn lessons for the future. The west calls out for people who need a break. I need a break, but a break from my city. I need to live in awful surroundings so that an awful surrounding for the average person will be a luxury for me. Humble, I need to be humble and what I do in these years of my life will determine what kind of person I will be for the rest of my life. I want to be a colourful person. The type of person you meet and think, “He is weird, but a beautiful weird” I want to be a beautiful weird, so I can show the world that being different is a good thing and normal is just plain boring. I want to own a different vocabulary, I want to dress different, I want to act different, but not just to be different because that’s what everyone different is doing. I want to be different because I was structured that way, which I know I am. I want every part of my body to be kissed by uniqueness. I want every bone in my body to be loved by a foreign thought. I want to have an instruction manual to my body in a different language so I never become over familiar with myself. I want the colour of my blood to be see through and I want the immediate thought and judgment that kicks in as soon as I see somebody to be seen through and destroyed. Its 1:05 on an early Wednesday morning and my back longs to be rested.
you ARE beautifully weird!

My goodness... THIS touched me too. Thank you for your honest thoughts here - you should be a creative writing student instead of me.
ReplyDelete"I want to act different, but not just to be different because that’s what everyone different is doing." I agree with you 100%... there's always that strange tension between being weird just because that's how you are, and because you just don't want to be normal.
And "I want to have an instruction manual to my body in a different language so I never become over familiar with myself" is an extraordinary thought - I'd write a poem about that.
I like the way you think.
this is amazing. its for sure my favorite one you've written. and i fully agree with ya! (:
