Wandering to Nowhere

Who I am. Who we all are

If wandering to somewhere is what people do
I will wander to nowhere to find something new
Undiscovered worlds, broken walls and waterfalls
If becoming part of society is the required norm
I will break the rules and venture into the storm
New faces, car chases, forget the restrictions of bases
If being afraid is normal to all who watch the news
I will turn it off, look away, and cut the fuse
Reading books under a tree, taking walks by the sea
If being a romantic is looked down upon in today's earth
I will travel back in time to the beginning of my birth
Slow dancing in the rain, making love on a speeding train
I will wander to nowhere to be somewhere

Now, this poem is all about me. My mom called me, one night, and I was crying; when she asked me what I was crying about, I told her the television news. She, brillliantly, said, "Well, turn it off." I did and haven't listened to it, since. I love the road less traveled, before I feel like an explorer; I, always, find what few dare to seek--peace and tranquility! Great poem, Chris; you hit the nail on the head with this one, in my book!

Technically speaking, I would suggest that you break the lines. Starting every stanza with the "If..." would make it more dramatic. :D

That being said, this poem is wonderful. :) It expresses the free-spirited person you are. Willing to wander into something not yet ventured, willing to take the risk of breaking all the rules and just enjoy life.

God job!

Very nice read. When I read it it felt like a song sung and played by Owl City, which I love. So thumbs up.

This is beautiful depiting the indaviduality we all burst to show. Also i love the last lines, romance has been somewhat lost and even tho it seems strange a big of romance will always go a long way

Love it....Who wants to be like everyone else right?? Thats what makes a person unique, seperate from all others, breaking the rules and making your own. Nice poem :o)
