The world around me is collapsing

The thoughts and sounds too much

My mind is crying for escape

For a dreams soft engaging touch

The people around me are worried

As my mind begins to slip

For they cannot see inside my head,

Be a witness to my trip

All they see is my eyes glazing

My attention out of reach

As the daydreams teeth sink in

Like a blood filled leech

And although I know it worries them

I cannot help but let it in

For this world has hurt me so much

With every single sin

That these daydreams are an addiction

Something that I need

For if it wasn’t for them

Who knows how much I would bleed
