dreams without an escapist

falling into bliss seems nice,

without worries of day nor night,

being myself, without a price. 


yet, stuck in the vanity of the mind,

is an action without benefits.

it's as pointless as the blind leading the blind,

lost in temperamental wine. 


falling into a rabbit hole,

feels like something inevitable,

it's a slippery slope,

like rippling dominoes.


yet i want to take a prolonged breather,

if only for a second, to be a dreamer,

to live life with blithe.

but i don't want to waste my potential,

going psycho in the head,

gone too mental. 


and i've asked myself this question a hundred times,

"is the promise of peace just a lie?

does fiction and reality have no cohesion?

why can't i live an elysian life,

without shattering myself into a million little shards?

is it really that bad, so tarnished,

that i can't truly have dreams,

without becoming an escapist?"
