world traveller

Published 2024-05-27

I want to see the world,
take me on a cruise.

Lands so vast they fascinate
they shrink as I approach.

I'm afraid to drown, as the
ocean swells and swallows up my mood.

I don't want to scare you away.
I just want to say "hey!"

I want to see the world as me,
I'm tired of watching it on TV.

Maybe I deserve a world
Where I can safely be.

The ocean past, it fascinates
Yet it's a heavy burden to bear.

I don't want to scare you away.
I just want to say "hey!"

here I am, washed ashore
is it a foreign land
or a place I call home
