Wow! This poem is very good. As I read this I felt a sorta heaviness come off.

Fuma! He! This is so pretty! Of course, we all want to escape, and while some escape through work, through sweat and blood and tears...I prefer writing. Don't you? Writing is such an escape.

O, btw, I loved these lines: "Because reality's chains/hold us down/between earth and sky/And life's bonds/confine us/to these/earthly bodies"

The lines are so choppy, yet still convey your thoughts in a unique, Fuma-ish way. P It puts more emphasis on the phrases as well. Wonderful work! May you be blessed with mocha malt frappuccinos and strawberry pocky!

Ari from Troy!

Very good. Yes! Keep up the good work!

Excellent poem, I loved this and yes, there have been many times when I wished I could just escape. I loved the reasons you gave explaining why we can't escape though. The first stanza was my favourite. Great job, keep writing :)

Life sux... it's supposed to be a pleasureable experience but we make it crappy. then because it's crappy, we want to run away but we really just brought it upon ourselves. Good job! (I forgot to do that last time)

well well, more poetry?

Life is harsh

the truth's too fat to swallow

it kicks u HARD when ure down

and rejoices at ure sorrow

life is bad

it tries to be unfair

when it makes u cry

...

oh screw this, it is a nice bad, spirit killing poem, encore, good job!

I agree with this completely!

Is this leading into a story?

If it is i look forward to reading it

*sighs* you have become a better writer than i have, my poems have never exceeded 10 lines unless it was for an assignment
