Be Free...

To get up and leave everything behind, just jet,
to tell the adventures of your life, that haven't happened yet.
Just leave and be who ever you want to be,
to live through your own eyes and see.

Leave the past behind you and go,
to a place where you don't know.
Giving up worrying, guilt, and all the curses,
be free and the master of your universes. 

You take a couple pairs of clothes and your bike,
do what you want and nothing you dislike.
To go and ride along the highway,
being content to be astray.

Give up your computer and cell phone,
bouncing from town to town like a stone.
Never knowing where tomorrow is,
taking in life and all it's experiences.

Completely release yourself and be king,
to own life as if it were a tangible thing.
Your own personal Heaven in this place,
and you have nothing, but time and space.

I'm almost there. The only thing that's holding me back is love...although I know it'll always be there... welcoming. :)
