My heart and soul
want to be
upon the open ocean,
with not a care
in the world.
I long to be free
from this harsh,
hateful world,
I want to sail away
and be along side
the whales and dolphins.
Upon the open ocean
is where I want to be,
away from the existance
of hate among humans.
I hear and see the
same thing every day
on the news,
people getting killed,
raped and tortured.
What kind of place
is this to live?

I like this poem a lot, nicely done. Sometimes I feel that way like you just want to get away from it all. And its a good thing you didn't give up on poetry, your very good at it.
