I am Escapism.

I am escapism.

I came into this world.
I began to see this world.
I understood something of this world;
And I ran away.

I ran to my books;
I ran to my music;
I ran to the arts:
I came to escapism.

I came to escapism,
And I devoured it,
I absorbed escapism,
And I became escapism.

Now, I am escapism.
