I am so hopelessly enthralled
By roads unclaimed
The perfectly paven joys
I dream, to truly know

From child-bearing arms
I peer in pure angst
Aquiver with rage
To embark
Unsought for and free

Escape is alive
Fire-bred and marrow deep
Gleefully awaiting
Its call to arms

And fear is amok
The sacred refrain
I faithfully utter
From these comforting snares
