Live

I want to be untamed.
Was I ever?
I cannot image
the reckless child
that I never was.
It was always
look both ways
before you cross.
I want to run away
and not stop
until I can't remember
which way home.
To find adventure
everywhere I turn.
To say what I think.
To spend nights
under an endless
starry sky.
I want to roll through
open meadows,
pick wild flowers
wander through woods.
I want to tread
where no one has ever
dared to.
I want to live
like I never did.
