Escapism Fantasies

This poem expresses the burning pains I feel from all the things I want for myself but yet can't find the push inside myself to fully break free from the safety of my personal shelter.

(Photo does not belong to me)

A path that becomes a circle

A brightness that doesn't reach my darkness

A routine that perfectly keeps me trapped

Can a person really be alive when a day feels like a decade

Driven by desire but beaten down by fears

There is nothing yet there is everything

So many emotions yet complete nothingness

There isn't much to say but somehow my mind screams anyways

Another routine no one sees

Expectations and failures

Motivations and disappointments

Somewhere there is a escapism

For now a fantasy

But what is the line between fantasy and reality

Perhaps soon I will be able to tell...
