I’m a wild child Explored much, invested much, observed too much I have danced in the dancing wind and laid naked in the crushing waves My arms have stretched around the world The shenanigans of unfiltered words The crude behavior of unschooled actions Have driven away the hearts of the expectant I deny not my actions For they come from the plain origin of the wilderness I am a wild child Gutted by trees in the forests and soothed by dewdrops from the branches I speak not the language of man My voice it carries across through the jungle wild In screams and laughters and sometimes loud shrills Like my friends, the apes or the enemy, the dressed I am a wild child I know I can’t be contained – I cannot be housed I must run as with the time that never stops I must run now – before the traps ensnare The cliff awaits, the river calls, I leap into the sky and dive and I am gone!!
