Sweetpea's poems

If I could escape my mind
And leave all of this behind
I'd travel the globe far and wide
Always with you by my side
Shadowing my every step
Branded on my soul lest I forget
Experiencing all the sights and sounds
Of new countries, cities and towns
For there's a whole world out there to see
So much bigger than you or me
So many lives touched by every fate
Of love and loss, of joy and hate
To gain perspective, a new frame of mind
To see that your problems amassed and combined
Amount to nothing, a superficiality
When some lives end in such brevity
I hope to gain such clarity
Experience a cultural and emotional tapestry
