Away from the students

Away from the teachers

Away from the stress

Away from the homework

Away from the tests

Away from the school

Away from everything

Is my spot

Where nature calls me

To forget about everything

And just let go

Let go of the stress that is slowly tearing me down

Let go of the emotions inside me ready to burst

Let go of everything

Except peace, quiet, and serenity

I close my eyes

And listen to the water flow

Listen to nature doing its job

I look out into the valley

Past society to the mountains

And just let go

Let go of the people who have stabbed me in the back

Let go of the loved ones who have left me

Let go of everything

Except peace, quiet, and serenity

If I imagine hard enough

I can fly past everything

And leave it all behind

Let go of those who don’t understand me

Let go of all my insecurities that can’t go away

Let go of everything

Except peace, quiet, and serenity
