escapism

an art that's easy

all it takes is one sound or emotion

you close your eyes

you're levitating into another dimension, another space

but you're sat still

cross legged on the couch

she looks at you wondering where you've gone

but you're right there

you're listening, but you hear music

you're looking, but the sun rays peeking through the curtains draw an image of a delicate smile on the wall

you're nodding, but you hear a sweet melody of what falling in love feels like

your legs swept up, flying you go into a warm, sunny place

a new fantasy

Maybe this is it... People say 'be realistic'. But why oh why can't I romanticise this world I'm living in? On hot summer days, why can't I lay down on the fresh grass smelling the mud? Why can't I count the raindrops on my window? Why can't I pass time dancing swiftly to classical piano each night before resting my eyes? Why can't I cry when I see a precious baby smile at me? Why can't I live like I'm 6 years old again? Why can't things be simpler again?
