A Wish to Escape

Wooden oars make ripples in your mind,
As you paddle away from our industrialized society. 
A simple, longing wish, hangs in you heart,
Yet you know it cannot be fulfilled. 

The sickening desire to escape out modern ways,
It's almost as if you are living in sin. 
Disgusted by the way you're supposed to be,
The world is a machine that molds us into plastic. 

How dare you leave all you know,
For some foolish hopes and dreams?
Silly, silly girl, you can try,
But you can't escape reality.
