Taking off
By Javoid
V1
Like a harvester in a drought,
I'm disinclined to wait it out,
My fealty is in doubt,
A working man's bounty just doesn't amount,
So I will flee, and let my onus recede,
I feel the wind is blowing westwardly.
Ch
I'm taking off,
I've had enough of these chores,
I'm changing my role,
I'm risking it all,
I'm seeking gold, before I'm too old,
I'm taking off before I lose hope,
I'm changing my inherent nature.
No mans fate is written in permanent makeup,
My fortune to date, is still unsewn, I'm...
Taking off, taking off, off I go...

I've heard stories of better men,
Who kept their cool, and paid homage to their land,
But I've had enough, I've had as much as I can stand.
This toil has left me with aged palms.
I'm inclined to rethink my plan.

I'm taking off before I lose hope,
I'm changing my inherent nature.
No mans fate is written in permanent makeup,
My fortune to date, is still unsewn, I'm...
Taking off, taking off, off I go...

I know I'm bold, for letting go,
People have shared, their opinion so.
Saying you cant change the way you've been bred,
But that I figured is just your mindset,
It doesn't restrict your depth.
I go deeper than that, there's more to me I know,
There was always room to grow.

I'm changing my inherent nature.

Don't let specious words keep you stuck,
keep you in a rut, keep you in your allocated plot.
No one ever said stripes can't be changed.
Time to take off, time to let go...
Time for me to embrace the world.
