Wanderlust: A Poem

Wanderlust 

I'm in love 

with the souls of those 

who wish to 

wander; 

With those who find 

beauty in 

none other than 

that which they aim to be. 

My soul yearns to escape;

to travel so

very

very

far away from here.

I wish to escape 

this box

that society uses to 

trap me inside 

of...

it's standards,

it's manner

in which it expects me to recede

I want to go

far,

far

away from this reality 

that encases

me.

wanderlust

a word that describes the 

yearning

of being away from here 

I'm in love with

the souls of those 

who wish to wander,

who travel,

who will themselves,

to escape;

to survive 

daily

by being on the outside 

Welcome Home

the outside world whispers

finally

when I let myself

wander.
