AN. This is another of my "interesting poems" , very different format, inspired by what I would want to get out of a trip with the doctor…

My Escape

The doctor,

He gives something to all his companions.

Whether it is teaching you how special you are,

Or helping you realise your dreams of saving the world.

To me he gave an escape…

He took me away from the mundane life I was born into,

He showed me things I'd always wanted to see,

He taught me things I had always wanted to know,

He gave me a chance to be more than your average human.

I left family and friends gladly,

I traded in normality with a smile,

I forgot domestic chores, jobs and money without a care,

Predictability, simplicity and living one day after another were distant memories,

And yet I didn't worry.

He challenged me, made me run, made me work,

He was superior to me in every way but it didn't matter,

I struggled desperately to keep up and loved every second,

I watched his brain work in overdrive and wished I could think that fast.

We travelled throughout time and space.

We changed and made history.

We had great unforgettable adventures,

And shared the simplest pleasurable moments.

We were best friends and I stayed with him as long as I could.

When he left me back on earth I cried,

I wasn't ready for a normal life again,

He knew though, it was the right time, I was relying on him too much,

It was time to return and live life in the slow lane, my reason for escape was lost.

The doctor,

He gives something to all his companions.

He gave me adventures and excitement

He gave me a life away from the mundane predictability of earth

To me he gave an escape…

AN Remember my attempt at poetry might not be to every ones taste as there isn't reasoning to the layout etc. But please review i need the constructive criticism…
