A Mind Escape

Lay down or just sit

When you find yourself stuck in a pit

Whenever exhaustion hit

Close your eyes

Until your hearing is gone

You do it every night when the TV is on

Now think about the person you want to be

In another place, a world that only you can see

Then let the mind wander

It's much easier to do in the rain and thunder

Look now you had escaped

Without a trace

Didn't even have to run at a fast pace

If they find you, just keep your eyes closed

Re-center yourself back in the happy place

Eventually, they will get out of your space

And try to keep a straight face

They will think you are praying

Then realize you are not listening to a word they are saying

If you get really good at it you can do it with your eyes open

Some call it daydreaming

Its just an escape for a certain reason

Be careful though, it can be replaced with overthinking

It takes practice, you will get better at it
