Fly Away

I wish I could just fly away, to anywhere but here

To be somewhere else, to live something new
where filling my senses, is long overdue
To be swallowed up, by the immense high
of watching new cultures and people go by

To walk in places where no one knows me
embraced by the warmth of anonymity
To be where opinions don’t really matter
no daily grind, no mindless banter

To get on a plane is really living
while the time in between is merely existing
To faraway places I can only imagine
feeling alive, in the midst of the action

But to end up here, of all places we searched
in the hollow trenches of mother earth
To accept my fate, or greater plan still unclear
not sure I have strength to conquer a new frontier

I wish I could just fly away, to anywhere but here
