Escape Being

early morning light creeps in

I resist the start of a new day

I want to stay trapped in my dreams

where fantasies are facts 

+ fear is fiction

where pain doesn’t 

soak into my bones

+ anxiety can’t 

touch my heart

facing another day means

experiencing 

humanness 

+ the mess of it all

meeting my doubts + insecurities

with arms held open in love

making space for every single

emotion that spikes in the day

in dreams

I escape reality

in reality

I escape [human] being
