outside

I want to hear crickets
I need a big open sky
I dream of zebras and mountain goats
while life passes me by
I don't want to be afraid 
I have no reason to hide
I want to spend the best 
of the rest of my days
outside

I'm tired of my apartment
I don't want to go home
I need to know what I do
when I face the unknown
I'll continue this journey
with my heart as my guide
I want the concrete to meet
my bare feet when I walk
outside

if you can't find me
don't get bent out of shape
I'm doing my research
I'm planning my escape
to reclaim the dreams
I once thought had died
I'm finished with talking
I'm walking the world
outside
