i want to travel
i long for the sound of crunching gravel
beneath my feet
as i climb a mountain to its defeat
i long for the song of crashing waves
under the stars while i misbehave
with my lover by my side
from the rest of the world we will hide

ive never been afraid of heights
but judging on how high you take me, i just might
be turning into a coward
you see, no ones ever had the power
to completely ruin me
yet, you speak my language so fluently
ive discovered my fear rests not in heights but in falling
i want nothing more than to jump upon hearing your calling
so here i go, im going to leap free
im trusting you to catch me

his sunshine makes me feel new
in a way i thought could never be true
for a girl like me
maybe his rays are the key
to a happiness i have never known
his touch melts me to the very bone
this summer i captured the suns shine
and i am on cloud nine

i often feel as if my poetry is inferior
i find it difficult to find words superior
to my third grade poetry skills
words that can cause chills
to raise on the back of your neck
my obvious rhymes make me a wreck
i gave up on proper grammar
confusing lines make my readers stammer
they say practice makes perfect
well my dear they are incorrect

it would be so easy for me to give up
this whole college thing never filled my cup
papers pile up and i feel helpless
swimming  in my mess
who needs an education
what i need is an investigation
of what my future holds
time to see what life unfolds

as adult life comes inevitably down the track
i see no sign of turning back
back to the life i once knew
the life where it didnt matter who
payed the bills
or funded the thrills
as adult life comes inevitably down the track
i beg for childhood to take me back
