Trying to Escape Reality

I get on the computer

Go to meaningless sites

Trying to escape reality

I watch television

Change it away from the news

Trying to escape reality

I play video games

Nothing violent

Trying to escape reality

I open my book

A fantasy fiction

Trying to escape reality

I face the world

With eyes closed

Trying to escape reality

I see the pain

I just turn my back

Trying to escape reality

I'm going through the actions

But just really barely existing

All because I'm busy trying to escape reality

I think I'm succeeding

At trying to escape reality

So far...
