London Dream

Sometimes I just want to leave this town,
Find somewhere bigger
Somewhere better
Somewhere I can chase my dreams
Until they're right in the palm of my hand.
I'm edgy, tense, nervy,
Sick of the sameness I'm shrouded in.

London is where I need to be,
So I can be more than what I already am.
I can see myself,
Sipping a martini in an uptown bar.
Gazing out at the city from a studio flat,
Finding new faces, new places
Being that girl I've always envied.

London's calling.

This is something I can definitely relate to. I like the way you describe what you're feeling as you're longing to get away. I know what that's like (also, nice alliteration in the last line of the first stanza). It can almost be like you feel there is someone inside you that you want to be, but there are all these things around you that tie you down and chain you up and keep you from being that person. "If only I could get away. If only I could be free to be me." At least, that's how I feel, and the feelings I get from your poem.

I hope you're able to be that girl some day. Don't be afraid to be who you are.

(As far as grammar and content, looks just fine to me)

Thank you, you're absolutely right with the meaning of the poem that's exactly how I feel... And don't worry, one day I'm going to get there!
