Runaway

Διακτορος - Diaktoros, Guide, Messenger

A most confounding feeling has washed over me; I wish I could look in the mirror and find a stranger, unburdened by the accumulated sorrows and troubles of this life. I wanted to be unsettled, free from these chains, and eager to be led to a distant land and give birth to myself to have a fresh start.

I want to be an unseen face in the crowd, watching as people pass me by, filled with the giddiness and melancholia of witnessing life but not understanding or knowing it.

I want to be lost. I want to be free. I want to be guided.

I want to stop the endless noise in my head that fills me with dread.

I want to be a nameless wanderer, wandering and wondering, flying free with all the consequences of freedom entailing, such as wonderlust and loneliness.

He is lonely too, is he not? Always on the run, going place to place, meeting people and bidding them adieu in the same breath.

Yet, it is thrilling and fulfilling nonetheless, isn't it?

I wish for companionship on such lonely roads.

I wish for the eternal guide to hold my hand and squeeze it, telling me all will be fine.

I wish for a friend to teach me to bask in the sanctity of loneliness and being unknown and being fresh.

I wish for many thing, but there is one wish I hope for the most.

I wish for guidance in this vast, scary world.

Swift Luck-bringer

He of the lucky coins,

He of the serendipitous blessings,

He of the joyous fortunes,

May I continue to find balance in even the most tumultuous of moments,

May I continue to seek the good to overcome the bad,

May I continue to prosper even in my darkest hours.
