How Do I Escape

How do I escape my life of misery. Do I run away or do I hide away. None of my choices seem feasible because where can I go to escape tradegy or how conceal could I be so that no one can see me. How could I be like the great Houdini who escape traps; as for I, How can I escape life. Or how could I be like the incredible David Copperfield who eluded object making them invisible, so that ,no one can notice me. All my notions are idealistic and not realistic, so the best thing to do is to expire, that will do the trick. Therefore, making me the greatest illusionist and escapist artist that ever been - to create more than illusion and to escape the greatest escape... and that is cease to exist. That is how I will escape my life of misery.

Another great write! I am growing quite fond of your style. Good work. As for your comment on my Detox piece, no worries. There was no substance abuse and it wasn't of a bad time really. I just thought about "love" being like any other drug ppl can become addicted to. Combine that with the right person and how it feels to have them say those 3 words and that's my idea lol. Kinda showing the similarities of drugs and love. Thanks for the comment
