I have the inclination
To get up and just leave
Board a train at the station
And ride away.

I have the impulse
To leave at 4 am
Slyly shut my front door
And leave with stars above me, all of them.

No goodbyes to be said.
All I'll leave
Is my unmade bed
And my discontent for the ordinary

I'll board a train
Spend too much on a fare
Read books until I reach my destination
I'll go anywhere, I don't care.

I'll board a plane
Flying to some far away place
Because this current life is too plain
To keep me content.

The world is my oyster
I'll pick up and go as I please
Roam and meander until I'm weary
This travel will bring me ease.

So one night I won't return
I'll just be somewhere else
For foreign places cause me to yearn
For travel, bliss and happiness.

Let me go
Someday I'll come home
But not until I explore who I am and this world
All by myself, all alone.

Let me go
I'll return someday
There's so much you'll cease to know
If you never let me leave.
I have an undying want to say "**** societal expectations." and not attend college, not settle in my bubble town. I want to explore and just leave. It's a romantic, unrealistic idea but I want this more than most things.
