Escape

Voices in my head take me through a dream.
I call it imagination, others call it crazy.
Bring me back to reality, I shake my head rapidly.
Nothing is keeping at ease.

Down another drink, I tell myself.
Its the easier way to escape from reality.
People just laugh at me as a drink so quickly.
I shake my head and forget about my crazy.

Run faster away from reality
I tell myself I am chasing my dreams.
Fall into a pit of misdirection
trying to find my comfort blanket to sleep.

Trick myself into the future.
Awake to misguided thoughts.
Down another drink I tell myself.
Chasing the crazy out is all I have got.

Booze Ain't Gonna Do It For You

Chelsie Lyn,

The answers are never found in the bottle and there is no genie there either. There are varying degrees of crazy that we all must embrace, the truly sane are among the minority.

Write on,

Pete
