The Wilderness Within

I walked out of a home, a cage, safety and routine,
And ventured into the wild, where beasts roam free.
The dangers were plenty around me, but so was the thrill,
And I knew in my bones, this is where I belong still.

I wandered through the forest, and climbed the rugged hills,
I faced my fears, bears, and tigers head on,
My heart gave a chill.
But as I braved the storms, and outsmarted the beasts,
I found my own home, my own place of peace.

In the wild, I learned what I'm truly made of,
And I know now, I'll survive no matter how tough.

I'll walk through the fire, and I'll swim against the tide,
I'll fight for my life, with all my might and pride.

For it's only in the wild, where we truly come alive,
And build our own home, and learn to thrive.

So I'll keep wandering, till the end of my days,
For in the wild, my soul always ablaze.

And if you ever see me, out there in the wild,
Don't be afraid, for I too was once a small, scared, child.
I’m son of the earth, of the fire, of the wind and the rain,
Just living my life, and feeling alive again.
