Escapism

//blinded by the lights

Drowning out reality behind the thin glass of an LED lit mind maze.

Traveling the world in the blink of an eye helps one outrun what lies in the next room.

Deafening bass dulls your conscious voice, allowing you to peacefully disappear while floating in a waveless ocean.

No physical sensations,

just mental vacations.

Letting all my responsibilities trickle down the window while I detach from reality and daydream from the other side of my mind.

Coloring my imagination

unimaginable colors

while allowing nonsensical notions to blow up my mental notifications, non stop.

Overloading my senses on purpose to

crash my train of thought.

And when that glitchy blue screen colors my sky baby blue, I’ll know I’ve reached nirvana. Total absentia. Asylum and cold silence.
