Whispers

Escape

"Happiness comes when everything numbs"

The happiest I find myself is when I can escape

Escape life, escape responsibilities, escape school, escape family, anything

Whether it be online, in a dream, at a sleepover with friends, or in a book

I just..don't want to face reality

And that's not a good thing

I've just been lacking motivation lately

With a presentation coming up, homework, college plans, career plans

I'm just too overwhelmed

And i would rather avoid all of it

I'm probably over stressing myself, as my mom suggested

But I guess I can't help it

It's like I need a goal, a dream, a plan for life, and what I want to do

It's too much

I need to take it one step at a time

Realize what I have around me

Stay in the moment

Stop thinking about the future

Stop worrying about your life, the whole of it

Worry about what you're going to wear, what your crush thinks about you, that huge presentation you're expected to do

Stop stressing about college, your career, and everything in between

Stay in the moment

Be a teenager

Just be seventeen
