|

|
|
|
||
|
|
for as long as I can remember
|
||
|
|
I've always been afflicted with wanderlust
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from the very beginning
|
||
|
|
wandering in waist-high grass in the train yard
|
||
|
|
threatening to run away
|
||
|
|
to become lost in the titan machines, slowly rusting towards their demise
|
||
|
|
given my father's blessing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and you were there when the doldrums started
|
||
|
|
when I met that accursed brown tumult of hair
|
||
|
|
starting the first sparks to stoke the flame
|
||
|
|
that would eventually become me
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
every day
|
||
|
|
I told you I wanted to run away
|
||
|
|
and you never listened, did you?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or maybe you just listened too hard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
we thought Neocities would be a fresh start
|
||
|
|
given a world of our own instead of cookie-cutter templates
|
||
|
|
then Lucine made a scene
|
||
|
|
and with light the shards teemed
|
||
|
|
and freedom just became another pipe dream.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
whether from a genuine need for rebirth
|
||
|
|
or easily-triggered boredom, pervading through
|
||
|
|
it seems I am destined to never stand still
|
||
|
|
to never settle down in one place
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
either grow or not
|
||
|
|
forever leaving behind link rot
|
||
|
|
for the next safe place, I have always sought
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
