<p>for as long as I can remember<br />
I've always been afflicted with wanderlust</p>
<p>from the very beginning<br />
wandering in waist-high grass in the train yard<br />
threatening to run away<br />
to become lost in the titan machines, slowly rusting towards their demise<br />
given my father's blessing</p>
<p>and you were there when the doldrums started<br />
when I met that accursed brown tumult of hair<br />
starting the first sparks to stoke the flame<br />
that would eventually become me</p>
<p>every day<br />
I told you I wanted to run away<br />
and you never listened, did you?</p>
<p>or maybe you just listened too hard.</p>
<p>we thought Neocities would be a fresh start<br />
given a world of our own instead of cookie-cutter templates<br />
then Lucine made a scene<br />
and with light the shards teemed<br />
and freedom just became another pipe dream.</p>
<p>whether from a genuine need for rebirth<br />
or easily-triggered boredom, pervading through<br />
it seems I am destined to never stand still<br />
to never settle down in one place</p>
<p>either grow or not<br />
forever leaving behind link rot<br />
for the next safe place, I have always sought</p>
