Rae R.S Poet Persona

Escapism

I slipped through reality,
In a threadbare dreamscape, stitched with denial.

Just when I thought,
I was over it  
It came back to haunt 
to show me how I cannot escape if my mind doesn't
They say faded memories don't taunt you. 
But when they do 
I leave everything behind 
Even my conscience to- 
Run away to hide
in the corners of my own faded
memories.

Just when it felt like home,
With all the secure moments
It was shattered down witha subtle-
Almost subconscious blow and just like that-
It was taken away from me.
The smell of regret grew more heated
As my despising of this reality grew tangled with my will to live
I decided to not go back
But all I did was escape to my own created reality.

But my reality collided with the ruins of my made up-
Memories.
 Now? 
 There's a war going in my head. 
 Now, where do I run to?
