The smoke disintegrated in the air,

Dissipated, like my worries.

For I had none.

I had all the time in the world.

Living a carefree life,

Until someone came along.

Someone who I would thank later,

For having the decency to let me prove myself.

To prove that I was more than what people said I was.

I was forced off my feet,

To explore a world I didn't know existed.

I struggled, I fought, I endured.

I survived.

In a company of strangers, I was afraid of losing my feet,

Not knowing where I might be swept off to.

My life no longer consisted of good food and the comforts of home.

It had become a mysterious journey,

Filled with riddles in the dark.

But that turned out to be quite okay.

Because there wasn't a single thing on earth,

That was better than adventure.
