As I look upon those stars,
on this beautiful night
I think about the planet Mars,
and why the stars shine so bright

I wish I could escape this treacherous world,
full of people that don't understand
I wish I could fly away right now,
and never come back again

This world wasn't meant for me,
and I know that to be true
Without my family,
what would I be
in this world?

&quot;Life moves pretty fast, if you don&#039;t stop to look around once in awhile, you could miss it.&quot;<br /> and<br /> &quot;I&#039;d rather stand alone for the right reasons than stand popular for the wrong.&quot;

I don't even have words for that story! It was just so good! I feel the same way sometimes! I want to travel and go places to! Just leave. Great poem!
