The need is crucial
to leave the people who
surround me. The
furor,
frenzy,
forlorn,
crazied individuals who inhabit
here. Make it easier to be
far, far, far away from
the Madding Crowd.
The world is a shambles
of people who are
flying,
floating,
fleeing to find
a home with loved ones. To be
far, far, far away from
the Madding Crowd.
Take me to a place where
people are not misfits, crazy ones
troublemakers, or rebels
Trying to fit
round pegs into square holes;
where ennui is not so
prevalent,
pervasive,
persistent, rather
they exist to be happy
far, far far away from
the Madding Crowd.
Years of disconnection
reaped seeds of malcontent.
Beauty,
awe,
wonder, and compassion
will change if only the
mind seeks positivity
and not adversity but
it is necessary first to be
far, far, far away from
the Madding Crowd.
