Let me be a little unpredictable
not reckless, just hard to keep in one place.
Let me change plans
when something unexpected feels better.
Let me take the long way home,
wander into places I can’t pronounce,
and say yes to roads I’ve never seen.
Let me collect blurry pictures,
random conversations,
unfamiliar faces,
sunsets I almost missed,
and stories that start with,
“I wasn’t even planning this.”
I don’t want a perfectly planned life.
I want one that looks a little messy,
feels a little wild,
and sounds like me.
