Hi there Lupa22! Niteowl here to leave a short review.
Overall, I think this poem captures the speaker's feelings of wanting to travel the world well. I think the varied line lengths and repetition fit well with the theme of feeling stuck in an existence that they want to get out of.
However, what I feel could be clarified a little more is the relationship with "you". This other person clearly means a lot to them if they would give up the chance to travel so that other person could, but it's unclear why they would do that. Why would they want the other person to go in their stead? Why couldn't they travel together?
seas of ambition spanned before me,
shine before you,
Different lines, but I think the same problem. The tense of "spanned" and "shine" don't match their respective sentences. I think "spanning" and "shining" would fit, but I'm not sure. You might need to think about it.
Overall, I thought this captured the mood of wanderlust, but I would like to see a stronger connection with the "you" mentioned in the piece. Keep writing!
