Wanderlust- a very strong or irresistible desire to travel

See, there's this thing I have
Wanderlust.
I want to travel
See the world
Experience the culture
Learn about places
That are beyond the borders of my little hometown
I don't think you understand.
I have atlases and maps
Like you do books and paintings
I plot out roadtrip routes in my downtime
I plan ways to travel across country
In nothing but a van
I save my money for plane and bus tickets
Rather than movie posters and makeup
My roadmap is my movie poster
And I'm the star of the movie.
It's so freeing
In a way that is
Hard to explain.
How do you explain the euphoria
Of driving on a dirt road at night
Wind rushing through your hair
Nothing but you and the open road
Your music playing as loud as you want
With not a care in the world but for
Where to stop for food and a bathroom.
There's nothing like it in all the world.
