Into the Wild

Inspired by the book "Into the Wild" by John Krakauer.

 

My excitement rises

I am almost there

I can feel the biting cold

And smell the uncharted wilderness

I go into the unknown

 

I throw my money away

I abandon my car

I shed this materialistic life

I head north to live off the land

I go into Alaska

 

Looming mountains, raging rivers, endless nights

Nature at its best

Everything I dream about

Just over that next hill, at my fingertips

I go into the magnificent

 

It is cold, it is bitter, this place that I go

It is an unforgiving place, for one little mistake can cost you your life

Yet I go

I go to this lonely, desolate world

I am ready, ready to go into the wild

Brilliantly written Natalia :) I wish I could just pack my bags and live off in the wildernesses for a couple of days or weeks. Sometimes we need to get away from this materialistic world and get back in touch with our roots!
Inspiring read,
I might have to go on a little nature walk today haha

Thanks so much for reading!

What motivates you to write-off everything you once knew and head into this harsh place? If I were heading out there it would be to be at peace with nature. You can learn much from the Earth just by surrounding yourself in her. In the end do these material items really make us happy? Anyway, nicely done

I was very much motivated by the book of the same title. I had just finished it and I loved the idea that the main character was not going to let what society told him would make him happy actually be what made him happy. I was inspired by his sense of adventure and his desire to live off the land. Thank you again for commenting. I like when people are able to make me question why I wrote what I wrote. It makes me reevaluate my writing and look at it differently. I love that! Thank you :)
