dreaming of burning bridges
never burn your bridges
unless you intend on never coming back
they say
but what if that’s my intention
how much money would i have to save?
how could it be orchestrated?
would i succeed?
because if i failed
i burned them fucking bridges
and there’s no way back
not giving a two-weeks notice
keeping everyone in the dark
just saving
and then buying a plane ticket
and a home
planning out the whole thing
and then leaving
sometimes this is what i dream
i sit on the bank of a river
a gentle breeze blowing past
and i watch the bridges ablaze
shards of construction crashing into the water
and i hope i can make it
if i ever even try

This is beautiful and dreamy and relatable.
Thank you, it means a lot. I worked really hard on it. The inspiration I had for it came from a really long conversation I had with a co-worker.
such a struggle to let go–you get right down to the problem we humans have with real freedom–even the freedom not to go back.
