Escapism.

When I create, I escape

to places untold or just can't relate

it may sound bizarre

most dreams usually are

but that's my pursuit of late.

This world has gone way too insane

holds riddles too deep and arcane

requires all faith and love

to keep our necks above

the sinking depths of pain.

With poems I try to evince

feelings of peace or transcendence

at times a nonstarter

but I should try a bit harder

as it's myself I'm trying to convince.
