Poetry: Living fully

by Kelsey Anderson

Created on: April 24, 2008

I want to quit my job today
And leave this place behind
I want to walk forbidden streets
In the shadows of my mind

I want to leave this straight and narrow
I want to cross that broken bridge
I want to stumble off this well-lit path
And see what else there is

I'd like to follow no one
And find out what nothing is
Tip-toe through some dark unknown
Grope blindly for some transparent bliss

I want to give up all I have
And never look over my shoulder
Open a door I've never seen
As my heart and soul grow bolder

The sun comes up, the sun goes down
In my everyday
I keep following my footsteps
I want to lose my way

Stuck here in this timezone
Where everything stays the same
Lord give a world less solid
I just need to lose my way
