keep on dreaming.

Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.

- William S. Burroughs

What if the great plan was to run away, to escape -
to get away to a foreign place,
where certainties disappear,
where predictability is scarce.

The certainty -
no longer holds any faith left.
The security -
masked by every form of unpredictability possible.

What if the great plan was to run away, to forget -
to get away from haunting memories,
to mask away the unforgettable stench,
to find a haven where it's a clean slate.

The reminiscence -
remembrance of nothing.
The blank page -
caused paper cuts which were pleasurable.

Temptations aplenty;
let me begin my great plan.

Temptations aplenty;
the contemplation brought about too much temptation.

Temptations aplenty;
I promised myself independence.
Temptations aplenty;
I promised myself to accept uncertainty.

Temptations aplenty;
my mind was made up to take a leap of faith.
Temptations aplenty;
my mind was made up - ready to leave it all behind.

Temptations aplenty;
but I'm not leaving without you.
Temptations aplenty;
but I wouldn't even take a step out without you.


but the "but"s are more than enough.

Sell your soul, not your whole self.
