that scares you

that's not a reason to be afraid and i'm not trying to scare you i'm trying to let you know that there's more things you can be doing than writing papers to impress your teachers or working for money you don't need and all i want is a home to go back to and a dog and a back yard full of trees not planted trees, wild trees. i don't want tame nature, i don't want a tame relationship i want a wild beast living inside of me and you and every single one of us waiting for a moment when we can run through a field without worrying about falling or hurting ourselves or being late for work the next morning or the politics of friendship we can't destroy ourselves before the world will destroy us. because the world will destroy us like it destroyed ghandi or that guy you used to toss change to on the corner or the man down the street with the mid-sized SUV and two kids and aged 40 with a wife and happy family and decent income but whatever because it's okay to be scared. it's okay to feel intimidated. it's okay.
