Overwhelming Instincts

The instinct that guides me
The wilderness inside me
Telling me what to do
In case I need to find you
I want to take this path
But the forest begins to laugh
It says turn around
And start walking away
I tell the forest to stay silent
This path is where I will stay
Even if I travel both night and day...

Very interesting, Robert. I am caught up in your wilderness theme that begins in first 2 lines. Especially like the intro by second line. Interesting, Robert. Very much so. -Robert
