"Love her but leave her wild."
- Atticus Finch, To Kill A Mockingbird
~~~
I'm a wild child
I am reckless
I am free
I am a fighter
I am a lover
I am one of a kind
leave me wild
I have the world at my fingertips
and I will hold it
as long as I can
for life is short
my life will be short
and in that short amount of time
I will see the world
and hold it in the palm of my hands
either smashing it
or making it beautiful
because the world is a little crazy
and I am too
let me go
be free
the world
is at your fingertips, my dear
you are the world to me
I want you to have the world
and be wild
like me
unfortunately, you can't be wild with me
because the situation does not allow
all I will say
is that I will see you in the future
I will shake your hand and give you a hug
because you helped to shape me as a person
and I love you.
Love me but leave me wild.
