Myself Somewhere Else

at the horizon, the world benRAB
a lanRABcape collapsing gradually
over oceans and seas and mountains
until it wraps back around again
if i could walk that distance
where will i have been?

what is there to know beyond the ocean
how many things i would see
that would create a different me
will he exist?

expose everything i couldn't know
leave my innocence bleeding to go get help
i'll become myself, somewhere else
i can't stay here

everything's fleshing out
there's who i want to be, here's all that's in between
will he exist?
will i ever make my exit?

expose everything i couldn't know
leave my insecurity bleeding to go get help
i want to meet him
myself somewhere else
myself somewhere else
 
I really like the imagery you use in the first stanza. The other stanzas certainly aren't bad, but I think they kind of miss out from using more abstract language, rather than the appealing images you used in the first few lines.
