I feel it there
Deep beneath my skin
Like an itch I just can’t scratch
Like an ache in my chest
I try to ignore it
Try to distract myself with life and love and peace
But that isn’t a cure
It’s a temporary fix
A band aide applied with my eyes closed
Knowing full well that I completely missed the mark
Sometimes it’s worse than others
Some days it’s like drinking moonshine
Slowly burning all the way down
Heating up my insides till I’m smoldering in that fire
Filled with a desire that finds no release
What I’m craving I still don’t know
Is it a need for adventure
A longing to travel to places I haven’t been
Or is it something greater that plagues my soul
Is it the need to be remembered
To leave my mark upon the world
To find the words that will truly set me apart from all the rest
There seems to be no answers
Only this pull for something more
Like a siren calling out to me
Trying to lead me off into her dreams
And damn is she enchanting
