Wild

Contributor: Stephanie Trinh

The people around me like to live wild,
but that’s just not for me.
Instead, with a calm, cold exterior,
like a machine is processing,
all the action’s going on inside my head.

My thoughts and ideas like to run wild.
Seeking work for fun
like a predator seeks prey,
and in the quiet of night,
the imagination roams free, as I
ponder the unsolvable
and unanswered mysteries.

Though others can live
for the fun and the adventure,
I’ve found that at best
the only place I can be wild
is inside my own head.
