AES323 Don’t Give Up On Yourself

I'm on my way.

They may ask me, "Where to?"

Well, that I cannot say...

For even I have no clue.

I know it's rather far,

For it has to make me whole.

The road to the stars,

The path to my soul.

I must go alone,

But I'll miss you all, believe me.

I must travel into the unknown,

I must sail all of the seas.

You see, I've lost something of mine.

It's special and grand...

Magnificent in its design.

How I lost it is hard to understand.

What did I lose?

Well...I'm not exactly sure.

Please, my confusion you must excuse...

I just know I must find a cure.

I have a terrible disease,

The name of it escapes me.

But it stops your hair from blowing in the breeze.

It stops your heart from feeling free.

I think it's called "Lack of Adventure,"

But correct me if I'm wrong.

That is why I must go on this venture,

For my very essence I must prolong.

I think I may have left my heart somewhere

Or the part of me that believes....

I'll be back soon, I swear!

But for awhile, I must leave.

I know I'm on my way,

And though I may not know where

Myself I cannot betray...

For I know I'm somewhere out there.
