Landlocked

Lead me somewhere

Where the water melts beneath my feet

And the sun broils my skin gently

Whisper my wants in my ear

An emotional advertisement.

We all dream of physical paradise

To hypnotize the anxiety in our minds.

You just missed the future

It passed right by you

When you weren’t even looking.

They left a postcard

Of your aspirations.

A memento of something that never happened

Strand yourself from the world

Before you strangle yourself.

It’s fine to do what’s expected

But reality can be bent and twisted.

Comfort is a compromise

Should we accept our mortal fate.

As the body plants it’s feet,

The mind will wander

Through different possibilities

The past, present, future;

Should’ve, would’ve, could’ve.

Yet, here you are

Exactly where you need to be.
