Hey guys, as you can see I'm new, but I'm trying to get into the flow of things. So here's my first poem post in here... hope it's not too bad.

Somewhere Other Than Home

I need something new
I need something other than here
I just want to run away
I can no longer stay

Its just a constant reminder
Every time I walk down my own street
I want to see the unfortunate
Just sit there and wait

I need a different atmosphere
I need it challenging
Something that would be scary
Something absolutely crazy

I know I can live a better life
I know I can do better
I need silence
From the pain, the words, the violence

I've tried too hard
I'm bound to rot here
I need a place where I can let myself go
A place where I can let my other side show

Call me crazy, but I know it's for the best
Something upside down will help me
Help me feel the pain the lonely endure
It's my own remedy that works for sure

Nice job on this poem

Greetings, my fellow "Junior Member!"  ^_^
I was completely intrigued with the idea behind this poem... that you think that it is best to escape from your home to solve the problem.
"It's my own remedy that works for sure"
Hmm... your own remedy.  A nice choice of words.
Great poem.  The rhyme scheme compliments the theme of the poem nicely.  I hope to see more of your work in here!  I like your style!

Nice peice...  escaping can often be the right thing...  I went for a holiday a few months ago for a break, but it wasn't to be the best, I had a great time, but I felt I was running away from my problems...  make sure it is the right thing to do before you run!!

Melz!!

Hey, very good first poem you've posted!!   Sometimes change is good, sometimes not, but you'll never know unless you try.  Of course, if you're going to change into a violent serial killer, don't do that.  If you already are one, please, please change!  Ok, sorry, I get carried away sometimes.

"Help me feel the pain the lonely endure
It's my own remedy that works for sure"

Just why is that you want to feel that pain?

This was great. Don't run away though, and don't kill yourself.
Bad bad



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
