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
“Escape Being”
