Before It's Too Late

I want to go to Vegas and gamble away the money I don't have. I want to go to Italy and take a picture next to the Leaning Tower of Pisa to make it look like I'm the one holding it up. I want to climb Mount Everest. I want to go to Ireland and see where my ancestors came from. I want to go to all 50 states, twice. I want to walk into a bookstore and see my name on a cover. I want to find someone on America's Most Wanted. I want to go on a boat and not get sea sick. I want to run down a hill of grass and calapse at the bottom surronded by dandelions. I want to speak a foreign language and actually understand what is going on. I want to dance in the rain. I want to throw my hands up towards the sky and ask where my life is going. But most of all, I want to live without a care in the world.
