LOST IN THE WILD

To step outside the world that I’ve known,

Leave it all behind and those who know me.

Off on a great journey to see it all,

Into the wilderness as if nothing else matters anymore.

To try things never tried before,

Experience life through a new open door.

Perhaps a fear of what lies ahead,

I trek across the land, survive if I can.

See many new things from my eyes,

Into the night I hear nature cry.

Not expecting never to go home again,

Lost in the wild is where my life ends.
