BUT WHERE TO?
I need to escape 
From this country of chaos 
Escape the mind games 
The hate and its sowers
The rumors and the mongerers 
The haze of the false and the fake
The hubris and humiliation
All the death and destruction
Escape the change that came
Escape the mad maddening crowd
I need to escape in my mind
Or from my own mind
Escape my own worries
My own thoughts
And hide in a rainbow world of unicorns and giant cupcakes
Where I don't sweat, where I don't fret
Where people are crazy in the way I like
Where evil creatures are a figment of the imagination
Where safety is not even a word
Because the opposite is not even a concept
Where there are no dreams of escape
I need
I want
I have
To escape
And it hurts that I long
To escape This haven where my heart is
The home of my history
The land I love
But for sanity and security
I must
Escape
Inward
Backward
Forward
To a different dimension
Anywhere but here
Any time but now
