gypsy itch

Saw my therapist yesterday
and he told me
my semi-reckless restlessness
was a positive thing

It's not a conclusion
I would have a come to
on my own
because I keep trying
to bury the gypsy itch
that's been trying
to take over my limbs

From his perspective I'm a person
who craves experiences
but is confined by circumstances
to restless-leg syndrome
when all my feet want to do
is hit the pavement and run

It's not really a surprise
that I've been feeling crazy
trying to connect to
anything and everything
I can sink my mind
and fingers into

When the world is grey
and stagnant
I'm still looking to feel

This discontent
doesn't make me crazy
it makes me human

But it doesn't stop
the gypsy itch
in my limbs
that wants to take your hands
anybody's hands
and dance into a new adventure
