The Great Escape

Escaping My Own Mind

By Kandi BeanPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I need to escape, my own time seems to end.

My mind races, everything seems to keep moving around me.

It's like I'm a puppet of time, My head spins.

I walk in a mist, no one seems to see me.

My own worst enemy is me and I can't escape what's in my head.

Lost in my thoughts, I seem to faze away.

On days I lose myself, feels like I'm dead.

If I could escape my head, I would stay away!

The fog surrounds me, I see a glimmer of light through each wisp.

I see nothing but white, clouds swirl around me.

I walk an empty road, feel the pebbles beneath my bare feet.

Am I really here, am I a figment of non-reality?

What is reality, why must we need an escape?
