Dreamer not the doer

I hate 
failure, failing.
I hate life but 
love living. 

But. 
Are you even
living, if you hate 
every second of it? 

There’s a key difference between 
existing, and living.
I want to live. 
I want to be away, 
far and farther and further out,
from those
I can’t stand to be around. 

I want to follow dream, 
and, the only way possible for that, 
is to be away, 
from all
of you.

I think I need be a doer of the dreams,
for that is the only way out.
