Escapism

A slight vent for my first post, talking about a world that I long for, but can't seem to reach

I look at the people around me and I feel lost, trapped even

I zone out who knows how many times a day because that's the only way I get to feel like myself

I close my eyes and imagine a better life, somewhere warm and welcoming, almost like a dream

But I'm pulled away from that luxury every time I dive in

because I'm not like other people. I don't fit in.

each smile is a miracle that is soon to fade, yet I embrace it each time

I wish and long for a mental rest, where worries fade away

a world of escapism, as I like to say

Actually there is no escape. As long as you struggle against what seems to be, it will remain. Let it be what it is while trusting it contains something better.

I love it, very well worded as well as very descriptive, Bravo
