i am an explorer,

of the white glittering stars,

of the longest shadows,

and of this vast world afar.

and i am a lost soul,

in the cold frozen night,

in the expanses of eternity

and in your judging, narrowed sight.

i am a drifter,

in my overwhelming pain,

in your shallow bits love,

and in the coldest night's rain.

and finally, i am a wanderer,

in every ideal you expected of me.

and i am a wanderer,

in every place i never wanted to be.
