lyrics
Saturday 27th March:
Always watching the highway. From my front porch I see all manner of travelers, crossing the valley towards the low hills which mark my horizon. But not once have I travelled myself, have I left this crushing life I so despise yet lack the energy or confidence to change.
Why must my life be a prison? Why this constant fear of losing control?
It has been there since childhood, this phobia. ‘The voice in my head!’ I would cry when the adults scolded me. Can they really not have known that experience – to be goaded into transgression by some inner force beyond comprehending?
It goads me tonight: ‘Out, out – into the world, into life!’ But I cannot – I must not give in to it.
