Imagine this scenario. The whole world has become a black abyss of pressure on your solely your shoulders. And you just want to escape.
Every one of us faces these kind of situations at some point. That’s when you just want to escape, even if it’s just for a few moments.
Practically, that’s impossible. But psychologically? It’s a whole different story.
That’s the theme of La Isla Bonita, Madonna’s classic song from her album True Blue in 1986.

Expressing a yearning to escape to a fictitious island named San Pedro with presumably a romantic partner, the song expresses all kinds of imagery of an ideal dream world.
What you think about that song and your personal experiences in life where you felt the weight of the world? Can you relate to the lyrics?
Write down your thoughts by composing your own poem about it! I look forward to reading it and responding to it!
