Escape From Reality

ESCAPE FROM REALITY

From the threshold of reality
A trip I took to the valley of inanity 
In my  quest for nothing but vanity
I exposed my desire for absurdity

Can I escape from my reality?
I gaze through my thought
I wasn't absent-minded 
I picked up a mirror
Look through the interior
Of my innermost self
I dreamt off while walking
Sleep-walking
Thinking aloud only to myself
Can I escape from my reality?
