Awaiting a World Reset
My world can be so exciting
grand, luxurious and full of adventure
My world can be so confusing
small, confined and so inertia
The open space, sea breeze and horizon ahead
floating away free
Amazed and yet so confused
in what so often feels like captivity
There are stars that guide me through the seas
and show me what floats ahead
It excites me and it drives me
but sometimes it leaves me full of dread
My home is so far away
worry there is not, for home is always there for me
Calm these waves that divert my ship
so long it has been since I was free
End this storm that threatens my passage
that stops my adventure the world holds in store
There is still so much exploring to be had
calm will return and I will be once again touch the shore
I love my world I really do
so full of grandeur and so much diversity
But I miss my home which is so close I can see it, feel it, remember it, but for now nothing but a mere memory
These rules restrict me, I know they must lift
I miss my friends and family
Give me safe passage and open the world
in any direction so I can flee
I love my world
though it has been too long since I have felt the warm embrace of someones true affection
Provide me the ability to explore once more
I am so desperate I will now go in almost any direction
I love my world I really do
but let me be free so I may roam
Open the skies
Let the stars shine bright and take me home
Someone hit reset already!
