Wandering

You showed the map to me

You said I’d never travel alone

I’ve been out wandering

All by myself

When can I come home?

I’ve been out wandering

I took the weight away from your hands

Forlorn and floundering

I surveyed every inch of the land

I’ve been out wandering

Pushed out against the wind

I walked around for hundreds of years

Just for a glimpse of them

Who said they would

But did not appear

I was the fence they drew

I travelled long but never went far

Stuck in the vestibule

I should be there

Wherever you are

I’ve been out wandering
