There's nowhere to run to, no place at all. How desperately I need somewhere to belong!
I long to escape and be completely alone. To go somewhere with no fear of tigers or bears, and no fear of people either.
I have everything, yet nothing brings me joy. Perhaps this is how people feel sometimes, even when they have it all—this urge to flee. To stay away from society, family, friends, relatives, for just a little while.
But I have no quarrel with society or family. All my troubles are with myself. I want to escape from myself. I simply cannot bear this 'me of mine.' I cannot make sense of myself.
In all my life, I've never met anyone more insufferable than myself. What is the way to escape from oneself? I want to be free from this torment.
