Escape?

The Illusion of Escape

Escape?

What’s my escape?

Painting, watching movies, making videos, writing.

But he’s my real escape.

With him, the world feels quiet.

I can think, speak, and act without fear of judgment.

But is he truly my escape?

Or is it just the illusion of escaping reality I want to hold on to?

    This is beautifully introspective and heartfelt! The mix of creative outlets and emotional connection is so relatable, and the questioning at the end adds a layer of depth. Wonderfully written!
