Mid-life Dreams

Mid-life Dreams

A Poem by AloneInTheTaiga

Every person goes through a mid-life crisis
That's what I'm told
Rest assured I've arrived at mine
I'm thirty years old
Three decades on Earth and I don't know my place
But I know it's not here
It's not in this f*****g place

Every day it seems to rain
Every single f*****g day
I see it as I look out through the window pane
Drops of rain water hitting glass as I sit at my desk
Praying to the desktop computer God at my bosses behest

Am I living life?
Am I f**k! I'm a ghost!

I have a desire to burn all that I own
Run far away, to far off lands
Head for the mountains and away from the brands

I have so few memories and they're mostly TV shows
So many clothes, possessions and loans

I am going to quit my job
I am going to flee
I am going to run towards the trees

Am I f**k! I'm a ghost!
Ghosts don't dream
They float
They don't flee
They are stuck in one place for eternity
