Literature Text

You carry the winds upon your back,
for fear there won't be enough to nudge
you forward when you lose your way.
But I was never one for
better safe than sorry
and I'd rather go my whole life
without a hard days work than
know exactly where I've been
and where I'm headed.


(in the depths, where even your lamp-light eyes can't shine, I'll wander onward)

Hm. You should read "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. It has this as one of the driving themes for the main character. (Also, it's the best book I've ever read, and has phrases like yours that make me question the world and what/how I've been taught. Yes. Some of your lines actually do that.)
