Wanting More (from "A Slip Of The Tongue")
in high school I was very depressed.
I would excuse myself for long bathroom breaks and go to the top level bridge and stare at the mountains and the clouds. I was looking for a release then, and now, as I stand at this apartment balcony looking to the mountains and beyond, I still am looking for a release. there must be more to this life than just feeling around blindly in the dark. yet, I stand here now, wondering and waiting, as if my entire being is crying out to do something more than what I have been. I am hoping for a chance to prove myself to myself. this balcony is like a cage, and I am a hungry tiger, holding quiet behind this prison of me, waiting for the chance to leap out for the want of more and more and more than this.
