Nomad’s Reclamation


I have the urge to turn away, to walk off into the sunset
What is keeping me here, in the first place
What is it that I haven’t accomplished, yet
Please don’t make me continue this chase

Was I supposed to tell the world some important news
Was I chosen to close a chasm
My life shouldn’t  be consumed paying dues
Don’t coerce me into false enthusiasm

Let me out of this private trip, this secret sojourn
You don’t have the right to do this
Stop dissipating me with this slow burn
I no longer wish to be victim of your cowardice

My pleas have gone unheard, so I have no other choice
Tonight I reclaim my free will
At last, I’ll chase away the nightmare voice
I shall be released when I, finally, grow still….
