Me-The Escapist

The escapist in me looks down when a teacher scans the rows for a doubtful face to charge her questions The escapist in me sleeps off when i flunk an exam It never thinks about tomorrow never thinks about the next hour The escapist in me shys away when I am the first to enter into an unknown host's home The escapist in me catches an imaginary cold when my exam portions are not under control The escapist in me should escape from me lest i become a wimpy person But here again the escapist in me shuffles away at the prospect of escaping from me So here its back again.....

true to life, Sue. How about looking for the escapist elsewhere. He's all over the place, not just in schools.

I think plenty of people have an "escapist" in them. Your poem is quite original! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Hey Susan, if you are anything like me when I was your age, it was a case ADD. Your poetry shows that you are not an escapist when you are doing what you like. Good work!
