Adventure Anyone?

Let's go on adventure

Deep into our minds

Running with child-like curiosity

Where there is no issue of time

Or money

Appearances

Perception

There is merely the world to explore

Schedule me for the lifelong tour

I want to see anything and everything

If possible

But of course there is

For there are no limits

Or so I believe

But this is not what they say

Instead it is 'Play it safe'

Or 'Settle down'

Or 'Find a routine'

To which I scream back

'Where is your sense of adventure!?'

When did you lose your spontaneous spark

When did you lose your will to love

To learn

To live.

When did you decide that mediocrity was safer than the extraordinary?

Was it not you who reminded me to dream big

To take action

To take the risks for the great reward?

Shame on you!

But alas, I cannot lambast

For there is no right way or wrong way

You have yours and I have mine

But I know which I prefer.

If life is either a daring adventure,

Or nothing at all

I shall take the adventure option.
