Escape from reality

For me,
Escaping doesn't always mean a happy place
Because It's not always about being happy
My escaping place
Could be anywhere from
A library to my room or maybe even the moon
To escape from reality 
I drown myself in words
In books in poems in quotes
My escape is to do lists and mental notes and school projects
Sure, they don't always make me happy
But they distract me
From the real world
And that
Is what my escape from realtiy is about

  • Today's Fears

    Teens are afraid
    We worry
    Do I look okay?
    What do they think of me?
    We obsess over how we look
    We worry that we're not thin enough
    We think we need to be skinny and perfect to fit into todays society 
  • In the distance

    In the distance
    Lies a magical fantasy land 
    Where objects talk 
    And dragons fly
    Where dreams come true
    The clouds are cotton candy
    The trees are made of chocolate 
    It's an escape from reality
  • As the Sun Begins to Rise

    As the sun begins to rise
    The birds stretch their wings and wake everyone up with their singing
    The foxes and wolves yawn and stretch
    Ready to look for their next meal 
    As the sun climbs the sky
