Away for Three Years

What would it be like

To go away

For three years

 

Just go away

Without worries

Or fears

 

Could we manage

To stand

On our own

 

Once we've gone

Four hundred miles

Having been flown

 

It's not impossible

We just make it

That way

 

So we have

Many excuses

Not to stay

 

I will do it

I will go so far

As to leave

 

And show you all

You heartless doubters

How to believe

Ohhh to blaze a new fronteer in your life. Survive in a new place for 3 years. How exciting, yet scarey. Nicely put together. It has a nice flow, with a pleasant, but adventurous attitude!

First off.


OOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HHHHHHHHHHHHARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYY POOOOOOOTTTTTTTTEEEERRRRRRRRRRR OOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Right, so on to this beautiful poem of yourn. It isn't angsty, yet reflects the thoughts of the classic American (or universal, if ignorance allows) teenager. Not saying you are the classic teenager at all (you, BY NO MEANS), but I really like how this is so modernly simple so that it is relatable to... Well, actually, every one could potentionally relate to this here poem. I'm sure everyone's had that pique moment where they'd really like to escape for three years (hell, I know what [i]that's[/i] like).

The title makes this sound as if the narrator really is leaving for three years. I don't know if this so much reflects the poem, because it seems like the content is just questioning a passing fancy. Maybe a more suitable title would be "To Go Away for Three Years"; unless you feel that is too long. It's just a thought.
