Whether you find your own personal escape in
The alcohol you poison your body with,
The pills you lose your mind in,
The blade you lack control of,
The hope you’ll someday lose,
The person who will leave you soon,
We all have something that brings us a blind joy,
Something that allows us to find inner peace.
Allows us to escape the imprisoning thoughts that tears us down.
It all creates this world away from ourselves,
Helps make living with the thought of whatever is bothering us somewhat manageable.
But at the same time it destroys us in different ways.
We depend on it,
We suffer more without it,
We fall deeper and deeper into these salivations
We lose ourselves and who we are completely.
And yet we think its better to be fooled with these mind controlling substances of happiness
Than to just suffer day by day with reality
