I must go from this place,
away from the people and things I know,
away from the comfort and security,
I want to know more,
I want to love more,
I want to get homesick,
I must not stay here,
staying here I cannot know more,
staying here I cannot love more,
Staying here in the center of my security,
I’ve developed blind spots that thrive in my vision,
I want to miss you,
I want to burn,
And so I must go,
Far away so that my eyes may look back,
and see it all in full splendor,
all that I still do not appreciate,
all that I take for granted,
all that I betray,
all that I've left behind,
all that I’ve forsaken in my oblivious conformity.
