Escapism.
We can escape
the seconds
of the day,
through
various ways.
Some people find
a release with…
food, some with sex,
some with gambling,
some with alcohol,
some with drugs and tobacco
and some with gossip.
For me,
it’s through a
latte, some chocolate,
a cup of tea.
Through the music
and with tv and film.
Those inner releases
serve me well.
Add to that my
passion for the
written word.
That helps me
maintain the real me,
the real me inside.
All these releases
help us all to escape,
the horrors of life,
that can cross our paths
and that can at times
become a block
on the road.
That can hinder
our way.
So we look,
we look to
those things
that we enjoy
doing to help us
through.
Those blocked
moments of life.
That can be so hard,
to move through.
