–

Hiding from life when it screams,

Off to magical scenes…

How we wish

For a mystical stitch,

To shore up all of our seams!

–

People choose believing

What actually is deceiving…

Taking them far

From who they are,

Another existence conceiving!

–

Some do this to refresh,

Write stories cherished best…

Some merely hide

Reality denied,

Until their lives again mesh.
