ESCAPISM

The pain has always been there since I can remember. From the first time I got picked on by the people I love till now when sometimes I feel like I'm not enough, the pain doesn't feel less and so there has always been a struggle just to be enough, not just for myself but for everyone else-to live up to their expectations.

And with the urge to live up to everyone 's expectations came the pain. I struggled deep to come out of that boat but while I was still in that boat, I tried to find an escape. Music, writing and smiling was my escapism.

These poems were written most time during my darkest times and I'm out of that boat now. These poems were my therapy and I hope they mean so much to you like they mean to me. Thank you.
