I want to wander
To the outskirts of town
Far past what I've ever known

I want to explore the world
And not be stuck in this stupid place
I've been forced to call "home"

I want to become one with nature
Breathing in and out, in and out
With the sound of the trees

I want to be stuck in alood
Alone with my thoughts,
Just me, and the vast open sky

But I'm having trouble finding that place

I need to find comfort
And rest for awhile
Eventually slip away

I always wonder where to go
I'm not quite sure but I know
There's somewhere out there for me

I just have to keep searching
Neologism poem - alood - inspired by the German word "waldeinsamkeit" which means the feeling of being alone in the woods, combined the words alone and wood > alood
