Nopony chose this life for me.

I wander the open roads, weathering rain, sleet, snow, and wind. I stop at towns along the way, give a short performance, and then leave. Why do I do this? Is it because I have something to prove? Am I running from a forgotten past, always looking over my shoulder? Do I have something to hide?

Or maybe, just maybe, is it because I simply like the open road?
