Escapism 

by Olivia Norwood

 

Taking advantage of social media,  

Taking advantage of YouTube, 

Taking advantage of AI. 

 

The escapism within my mind. 

 

So deep inside without knowing. 

 

Escape to the safe place, Escape to the relaxed place, Escape for the night. 

 

Is this the right place? 

 

Escaping from your true home, Escaping from your true life, Escaping from your true self. 

 

Missing your realities within the world you created in your mind and phone. 

 

All for what? 

 

Nothing at all. 

 

Coldness, Soulless, Pathetic. 

 

Can you escape to become alive again?
