My feelings of wanting to leave..

[Alabama]

Well I decided to write how I feel, for venting purposes. Enjoy.

 

Vanish by Alabama

 

Sometimes, I just want to disappear

I want to leave this world

I wish to go somewhere else

Just somewhere I can think

 

Since the world is getting too complex

Life isn't fun anymore

Things are confusing

But I'm still me, right?

 

But nonetheless I shall go on

No matter how bad things get

I will never give up

Or run away, to the nearest exit

 

Yet some days are troublesome

They are tiring, indeed

And these days I wish to vanish

To go somewhere for months or years

 

But somehow I am still me

Somehow I am still here

I have the strength I suppose

Is it me, or something else?

 

I contemplate and let things be

Time heals all wounds

Life gets better, don't you see?

But we have to fight for that

 

Those times I wish to leave

Those times I wish to disappear

Will never go away

But I'll fight, to truly stay

I liked your poem.

 

It really touched on the desire to escape, which I think we all feel now and then, especially in times of stress. I really like how your poem ended positively.

 

Poetry, in and of itself, can be a great escape.

Great poem. You really did touch on a desire to escape, but how at the same time we realize the need to stay and face the troubles that confront us.

 

Alabama, I also want to say a personal thank you. I've read your posts for awhile now and I can always tell there is a very loving and caring heart in you. Your words often make me smile and give me hope.
