The urge to
Runaway and
Explore the
World makes her

Heart and

Mind race faster
Than light

She wants
To find what

Else is out
There

She
Wants to
Know the

Feeling of losing
Her way and
Finding her soul

She wants to
Feel free
In the warmth
Of the
Sun and

The moist
Of every raindrop

She wants
To drift off

Into the
Clouds and
Let the

Stars twinkle
In her eyes

The thought
Of feeling
Alive consumes
Her thoughts

She
Urges to pack
Everything and

Leave a note
Saying she'll
Return soon
And drive

Off in
A vintage van

She yearns to
Feel the wind
In her
Hair and just
Feel her
Soul fly

Towards whatever
Lies ahead
Of her
And go wherever
Her soul

Takes her

But until then
She uses
Every little coin

For her plans
And keeps
Adding to

Her lists
Of places
To find
Her soul in
