Drifter
Oh, to drift like a vagabond who is never missed
to ride the careless waves of an uncharted sea
to set my compass to the winds of desires
and let daydreams guide me along the way.
How I long to escape this present drudgery
and wander lonely backroads on a whim
abandon the grind, pursue unscripted adventures
forsake these long, monotonous hours
and slide into delightful oblivion.
Let me fly away from this cluttered madness
and be a nameless vagabond
with a faraway look and a careless smile
roam the world, free from obligation
happily unshackle my burdens
and cast them into the deepest sea.
