Escape,
escape in the worlds crafted
scrolling endlessly
numb the mind
the ceaseless thoughts
dont leave me alone
with myself
distract me
find me a screen,
a book,
another world,
a new distraction
an endless cycle
of misplaced attention
if I keep moving
my brain will never wander
or dwell on the past
the goals unfinished
so again start the cycle
try to escape
produce the chemicals
to appease the mind,
plastic happiness,
a modern solution.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
