Come With Me

I am the greatest adventurer the world will ever know, Just take my hand and off we'll go. I have been to the mines of Moira, To the very center of paranoia. I have been to London and France, I highly recommend it if you get the chance. I have been on crime cases that would make your skin crawl, I have spoken Elvin, Dwarfish, and with a Southern drawl. I have traveled the world and have seen what only a few can imagine, I have visited times of great plague and came back without a single contagion. I have been to the great city of Oz, Over and over I have fought for the rebel's cause. I have sailed from sea to shining sea, I have been imprisoned, I have been set free. I have been to the Emerald Isle, Been paddled on a throne across the River Nile. I have battled fallen angels and demons by the ton, Never giving a second thought to safety, never feeling an inkling to run. I have met fantastic creatures far and wide, With a few persisting I should be there bride. I have fallen in love by the light of the moon, I have had death promised to me sooner than soon. I have given in to the monster within, I have loved women, I have loved men. I have learned how to be docile, I have learned to be a fighter, I have learned when to loosen the rope, when to make it tighter. I have learned when to die, and when to kill, When to yell, and when my tongue should be still. I have lived by lakes, And felt winter's first snowflake. I have lived in castles and in shacks, I have fought the law and fallen through the cracks. I have lived in mansions on hills, I have watched flowers bloom on naked window sills. I have traveled to planets people didn't know exist, I have accomplished every single item on my bucket list. I have visited the moons of Jupiter and Mars, I have suffered both physical and emotional scars. How have I done these impossible things you ask, It was far too easy a task. I simply opened a book and broke its spine, Closed off the noise of the world, and opened my mind. Tonight there is no telling where I will go or what I may see, But you are more than welcome to come with me!
