i'm laying in bed wising i were somewhere else anywhere else anywhere but here words repeated a thousand times over by so many people but i don't care, i need out.. the bright lights of the city seem to call my name the urge to leave is pulsing in my veins i wasn't meant for this small town life with small town people and small town dreams i need more.. your eyes are the only things keeping me awake at night keeping me here planted on this god forsaken ground wishing i could fly away but lacking the wings to do so i need you.. i'm laying in my bed wishing i somewhere else anywhere else.. i need to soar.. |

You managed to convey your feelings very well! Yes, the lure of the city can be quite strong! But remember, all that glitters is not gold. As Erma Bombeck wrote, "The grass is greener over the septic tank!" lol  Small town living has its advantages as well! But I sense your restless spirit and when that call comes in from the city, young people are quick to answer! ~ I've been there as well! Enjoyed your poem! Brought back feelings and memories of my own!   EA |

You are young, travel, see the world, experience differences in life, cultures, people. Then when all is said and done, you will have a better understanding of yourself and what you want. Soar sweet little bird. Try your wings.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Oh, the restlessness of youth -- I feel that here. Take it from one who knows, once you leave it is very hard to go back....but, then again, sometimes that is a choice we need to make. Think long and hard though and have a solid plan -- well, that's enough advice from the eternal mom in me. |
