Escape To The Moon Poem by lindsey ashton

Haunted by life, nowhere to hide,
Emotions and stress build up inside.
The world is closing in, there’s no stopping it now,
If only there was a way to escape somehow.
To leave the stress and world behind,
Somewhere to escape to, a place I could find.
I know a place, so empty and quiet,
Away from the world, the stress and the riot,
A place where the silence has its own tune,
If only I could escape to the moon.
To be by myself, not another soul in sight,
Surrounded by stars in a permanent night.
How nice that would be, to look back at the planet,
Going on as normal without me in it,
To forget all my troubles and how bad I feel now,
Oh, I wish I could get to the moon somehow.
Maybe if I close my eyes, I could go there in my mind,
Forget about where I really am, and see what I can find.
That’s what I’ll do, I’ll do it right now, I’m going to the moon,
I don’t know when I’m coming back, it won’t be anytime soon.
