anywhere but here

by Antwan Fields - Aries

to have to endure what happens to me, no one else should have to. to be lonely, angry, and bitter, all the way through and through. to get away and be happy, only to get screwed with. all the things i do to try to escape, the apprehension at my nape. and its there, anywhere but here
be forced to cover up my fear, scrape and scratch and scrape my ear, to jump off the edge of navy pier, and there i am, looking sad again, there i go, being bad again, and in that leer, anywhere but here , and there i am, brush away the tears. 

lonely, lonesome, bitter you'd be, with a life like mine
taking my fate in my own hands, dead by twenty-nine
awe-inspiring beauty, swear fealty to you today
pay no attention to those who hate youre being gay
don't worry bout me now, please. wait till its time
that ive had sex again, in the eyes of some a crime
and there i am, waiting out my term
be caught up and held away, be called a germ
looking in his eyes, so hot they sear
but i won't be anywhere but here
and this comes along for me, but don't you cry
don't worry bout me, i won't die
where i go, thats up to me
to kiss you and then hug a tree
oh, here i am, on the ninety-ninth floor
i don't want to be anywhere but here anymore
not anymore.

Reason for writing:

    i know i love this song too much, but metallica's turn the page gets my juices flowing. and i know how it seems, but my poems just flow better with a song in my head
