Best Get Away Poems
I really would like to just vanish and disappear
Run far away, to an abandoned village or a deserted town or a forest in the middle of nowhere
Take me to a place hidden away from the eyes of tomorrow
A place without stress, grief, and sorrow
Where I can have a thoughtless mind
It needs to be a quiet and exotic place where nobody can find
Forgetting and yet remembering,
That’s right losing myself but at the same time discovering more
White sand beaches where the ocean fades from the shore
As I count the stars that will guide from above
In the endless light blue sky there are millions of white doves
I need time to find myself and so I can better know me
A place where I can be relaxed and happy
Now I’m overwhelmed by silence, with my thoughts must I contend?
Just trying to avoid the loneliness to descend
So come on join me my friend or just leave me be today
I need some place to get away and to get ready for the next day
I think escapism is very important, certainly in my life. I love nothing more than escaping into the world of a film or a novel. To be involved in creating that for other people is a privilege.
Ben Barnes
We spend more time developing means of escaping our troubles than we do solving the troubles we're trying to escape from.

the tyrant has left
with the Swiss System of theft
billions of theirs left
Swiss Bank get away
stealing it the legal way
a clean den of thieves
is'nt there a law
or should'nt there be one made
to make the Swiss pay

I Wanted To ‘Get Away’
By Curtis Johnson
Without naming the company, one of my favorite commercials use to be the one featuring ‘embarrassing moments' and closing with the question, “Wanna get away”? Many years before those commercials were conceived and popularized, I had such a moment in one of my college classes. It would have been a great time to get away, or disappear, or for a fire drill moments before, or for “The Rapture”.
The class size was no more than 15 plus the teacher, who was a rather friendly and smooth character. I think that it was my second year at Bible college where I was studying for the Gospel ministry. This was most definitely a required class for anyone seeking to be a public speaker. So I was well suited to excel in my Homiletic class, or so I thought. I did fine later on during the year and more that just pass the course.
But for some reason on that particular morning, when it came my turn to stand before the class and preach my sermon, I bummed out. My subject matter was fine, and my three points were well defined and organized, but just after the introduction of my message, I froze and forgot everything. The teacher and the class were great and very supportive. I do not remember if I managed to pull through it or whether I was forced to sit down. What I do remember is that, in spite of the kind spirit in the room, I was very embarrassed.
Yes, I became a pastor and preached hundreds of sermons and spoke in public on many other non church functions. No, the ‘freeze’ never happened again, and I suspect that I was to ever remain humble and never think myself to be a great speaker. And also, one embarrassing moment was more than enough for me, and I think that I learned my lesson well. 09282015. 1P

His hard eyes stared me down
The remnant of a smile
Now a distant memory
It’s funny how the eyes can relate hatred
Out of nothing came a blow
It made me see stars-for how long?
I can’t count but I’m a damn good smell sensor
What I did to deserve that smack, I may never know
I miss my friends from that place
I don’t know what they call it but I remember its smells
Urine, poop, fear, and death
Why did I have to go home with this guy?
It started as soon as I got to his digs
Couldn’t hold it
There were others here; I could smell them
But they are gone
I used to remember everything
Now it’s a blur
Head smacks all the time
I hate the stars
What a fool
He took me outside and unlatched the spike collar
Took off, full speed
Not looking back, gonna find another pack

In a town where the only things to do
Are to get jailed or killed
I spent the days of my youth
Watching my peers have fun
Dead end
Something's gotta bend
Here in Nowhere Space, MD
With drug fueled children
Raised by bigoted thieves
I've gotta get out of this town today
Just like hell and high water
We're soaked in gasoline
All it needs is a spark to set it off
And bring the whole place down
Dead end
Something's gotta bend
Here in Empty Space, NJ
With bibles a-thumping
And my generation stoned
I've gotta get out of this town today
I'm leaving home behind me
My story's half engraved
I know it'll end one day
Just don't know the date
But it doesn't matter much to me
If I come crashing down
Just as long as I'm buried
Somewhere other than this town
Dead end
Something's gotta bend
Here in Hope's Tombstone, DC
Where crime's what it takes to
Make it forward in life
I've gotta get out of this town today

Lyric
All of my dreams have been crushed
and all my wishes.
Because of kisses
in the past.
but, how many lives have I touched
none, that is why I run
from life.
There is no one left for me
in this hive.
I'm too scared to ride
and too scared to drive
on this lonesome highway.
Every night I pray
for a brighter day
but, I can't get away
from here.
So much pain
and so many tears.
That's what drives me insane.

I'm worried I'm letting it pass
Her heart for me to grasp
We're set to dance on homecoming night
But that's the future, the present is not right
We rarely talk, i don't know what to say
No time together, she works everyday
I yearn for the closeness, the union of two
And yet she's so far, what should i do
I will get her a present
And put it on her desk
A birthday card with my signature
And a note where i confess
Should i tell her i want her?
To be mine this year
Not just for homecoming
But to have her always near
Maybe then things will change
And I'll have her as mine
My sweet lady
Together for a time

I broke my ankle badly yesterday in a fall.
I had no intention of going back to work at all.
A friend offered her holiday house for me stay.
I accepted immediately as I needed to get away.
I arrived to a little cabin all cozy and neat.
On the mat ‘Welcome, Please, wipe your feet.’
Inside it was furnished in old world style.
Looked like no one had been there for a while.
Limping, I dragged all my luggage inside,
And went round opening all the curtains wide.
Outside was silent and still, not hearing a peep.
I could see it would be easy to get some sleep.
I started a fire and then fixed a quick snack.
My foot on a stool and I reclined right back.
Through the window I peaked, a man was there.
At first all I could do was stand and stare.
He knocked hard so I opened the door
He politely asked, “What are you here for?”
“I live here, well no, my friend owns this place.”
“Ahh, you know my sister? Is that the case?
Did she tell you that her brother, part-owner,
Chooses to stay here and be quite a loner?”
I replied “There is only one bed, you cannot stay.”
“You are harsh, I have come quite a long way.”
“Well I guess I cant kick a part owner out.
Sleep on the sofa and only quietly move about.”
“You know you are lucky that I am here.
It’s on the radio about an escaped convict to fear.
Being a strong man I will protect you from harm.
So you can stay relaxed and feel very calm.”
“Well that is fine but I don’t yet know your name.”
“Hasn’t my sister mentioned my name? That’s a shame.
My name is Jackson, but I prefer Jack, How do you do?”
“I am Geraldine, but Gerry if its all the same to you,
Here are blankets and pillows, Anything you need?
I am off to bed, I seem to be very tired indeed.”
I went to bed, my friend called my cell phone.
She said “How’s my friend who is accident-prone?
Did you find everything, is there anything you lack?’
“Well, I found your brother” “I don’t have a brother” she answered back.

Let's just go away someplace
And get away from here
Just you and I get on a plane
And let the pilots steer
We'll find out when we get there
Just where they steered us to
Enjoy this place called somewhere
Where nothing's what we have to do
We could simply sit and talk all day
And far into the night
We could share a clove, drink herbal tea
And all would be just right
And when we got too tired
When it was time to shut the light
We'd fall asleep in each other's arms
Your face my eye's last sight

My eyes are red and mind is indignant
And a face I have too much annoyed
You need not to bother them at all
It is true that I am angry and vexed
And that is not with any one of you
But i am enraged and infuriated with myself
To lead a life and just to sustain
I need to go down and to such a low
From taking bribery to telling lies
Doing conspiracy and spreading malice
As if I do not have any human quality
Nor have I any human value or merit
I am totally disgusted with myself
and fed up with this life which wants
more than the things I can honestly earn
and manage ,a huge pity on me,
I cannot live a life, just and true,
without bias and without prejudice
It is an utter shame that I could not take
A balanced view over matters till date
It is too long that I fail to win over
Fear,favor neither have i control over lust and greed
My eyes are red and I am really furious
I shall not let myself to get away this time
and walk away it off the hook easily

You stole a piece of my heart
and I can't get it back
Now worry seems to cover me
with mind unrest attachs
You took away the peace I had
with me, myself and I
The love I had within myself
has found itself denied
My soul is constantly reaching
and grasping only air
My eyes are constantly seeking
the you that is'nt there
My being has lost its reason
and my sanity lost its way
I can't help but think about it
a few times everyday
The sway it has is sickening
and refuses to go away
The rose that I had that was you
has born to me its thorns
The space I held in my heart
barren and forlorn
My presence to your needs
forever scorned
My pain, the worst part of love
dutifully endured as it should be
without death
My dreams desolved in memory
becoming harder to remember
But i still doubt your emptiness
for we had so much
But it's a sin to love that way
and somehow never touch.

Why must you taunt me?
And why you torture me?
I want no parts of you
I hate this back and forth dance
It's like I’m stuck in the twilight zone
In that alternate universe
I’m a prisoner of pain
I look disgusting
I feel disgusting
The mirrors are covered
And some are broken into tiny pieces
So again I ask you
Why do you taunt me?
Why do you torture me?
Why are you following me?
I thought I was over you
But no you continue to haunt me
Get away from me my miserable
PAST!

why can i not escape?
my domestic daily rape
take my molested mind
so that i may unwind
steal away my life
to end all the strife
oh! to feel human again
not just thunder and rain
undo all my chains of woe
i will not promise not to go
for release me from my eternal grind

I need to get away.
Somewhere to play,
the ocean or the bay.
A nice place to stay,
a little out of the way.
A price, that I can pay.
I can enjoy the day,
and do it my way.
Brought a towel to lay,
in the sun, catch a ray.
A little later, I just may,
chill out, you might say.
And that would be okay.
I now have a plan, YAY!
