Here I am,

Here, not There,

But frankly, I’d rather be Anywhere,

Anywhere but Here.

Dreaming of anywhere but this place,

Is like chasing the sun,

It’s all a waste.

Cause no matter where you go

Who you become

Your time here is never undone.

Most of us don’t leave,

We all just say:

“Doesn’t matter where we go,

We’ll just wander back here,

In a matter of days.

“So might as well settle down,

Grow roots like a tree,

Cause you’ll reach for the sky,

But in the sky, you’ll never be.”

Maybe they’re right,

Maybe they’re wrong,

Maybe if I wander,

I’ll be back here before long.

But would it be worth it,

To explore new grounds?

Maybe I’ll come back better,

Better with what I’ve found.
