Away?

By Adam

The boy goes to school to get away,
What does he get away from?
He goes to school and gets putdown
What does he escape?

The boy comes home to get away,
What does he get away from?
He goes home to be told he is not “to standard”
What does he evade?

The boy does sports to get away,
What does he get away from?
He is not good enough to play
What does he dodge?

The boy tries to get a girl to get away,
What does he get away from?
No girls want to be with him
Who does he fool?

The boy flees to get away,
Where does he go?
For the boy has nobody.
What does he have left?

The boy thinks about getting away …
What does he really get away from?

    Thanks for reading and commenting! Welcome to DP :) Funny thing is when I saw my comment notification the other day (week) I clicked the link and found a poem that I wrote years ago started to apply again. Having someone read and comment on it was a good feeling, Thanks! Scholar

    I can relate to this. You always feel like you're seeking refuge, yet you can't pinpoint what exactly you're escaping and to where you will escape. Nice write.

    i agree with CorruptedLittleGirl. it always seem like your trying to get away from things that try to controle or supress you, to running into the arms of more comfortless pain when you try to escape the first

    Me thinks you may need to find natural solitude. Like a beach nobody's been to in awhile, or the woods with a stream nearby and no people. That sorta natural solitude. Then maybe you can actually get away from trying to get away.
