Everyone has their own way <br />of escaping the tortures of life <br />Some write, some daydream, some listen to the music of today <br />These tools bring pleasure in repelling <br />pain, hurt, and depression of the cycleyou call everyday life <br />My way of escaping reality <br />is the process of closing my eyes and falling asleep <br />in my cold frigid environment of rest <br />wrapped closely in covers dreaming away <br />Closing my eyes brings pleasure to <br />my bittersweet life and sweetens my dreams <br />Dreaming of my candy clouds in the sky <br />Dreaming of candy filled farms <br />Dreaming of rainbows and gold at the foot <br />brings hopefulness into my life and <br />helps me survive the hell people call life <br />realeasing feelings I have bottled up inside <br />Letting go of the attitude I contained that night <br />Escaping reality lets go of the built up tension <br />which has contaminated my mind and thoughts <br />and complicates my judgement <br />releasing the killer that has stolen my happiness <br />Stabbing and salting the wound of childhood deprivation <br />Escaping reality gives me the gift of forgiveness <br />and reincarnates a new me day-to-day <br />in hopes of continuing the new day <br />as I have completed the last <br />release the killer that makes your life fade away <br />escaping reality gives me a bloodless win <br />over life itself from time to time <br />and will continue to do so forever <br />find your way of escaping before it makes <br />you a numb bloodsucking killer of those who walk alone the earth today<br /><br />Sky McCoy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/escaping-reality-3/
