| From Strugglingteens.com Essays By John Blanton If you have ever experienced the relief, clarity, and serenity of being out in the mountains and away from society then you will understand this poem. If not, I encourage strongly that you get away from it all; the distractions, being on time for everything, having to think so hard about every choice, and wondering what other people think of you instead of how you feel about yourself. The feeling that you get from getting away can hardly be described and it is different for everyone, all there is to do is experience: I walked up here to write a rhyme To get away – lose track of time I came to this place to hide out for a while Kick back, relax, and walk an internal mile To think about thinking to write about words To capture myself – alone – undisturbed Needing to feel how I should and know what I mean Wanting to find my truth – discovering my dream Feeling my heart and breathing with my soul Seizing each moment – swallowing them whole To love myself – To be myself – Spiritually free Finding the faces of the feelings I am – Just to be © Copyright 2012 by Woodbury Reports, Inc. |
