Wanderlust
I travel to quench my thirst
To break away from everything I know
In an attempt to meet a different sun
And to finally feel the snow
I travel to swop my language
And taste the life you live
To soak in new feelings
That I can invariably relive
I travel to collect wisdom
And stretch my mind a little more
To ask new questions and find answers
That I didn't know I was looking for
I travel to put my imagination to rest,
To feel lagged in every zone
By releasing customary methods
To explore the dark and the unknown
I travel because Id feel empty
If I only walked down one road
To meet strangers who become family
And to call the unfamiliar, home
I travel to unravel and fathom this life
To be at home under the sea
I travel to live a thousand lives
I travel to set myself free
