Lose myself in thought
Without really thinking
Rewind and replay the words
In my head – “I am not hereâ€
Almost as if I am naïve enough
To believe I can wish myself away
As if anything were that simple
I persist, knowing this
Because if I were to stop
I would be completely there, totally existing
And I would then have to face my inner demons
My inner being…reality…the world around me
My true and inevitable thoughts have been so long avoided
Now I shall concentrate on the music running through my ears
Anything to stay away from myself
I can face reality...another day...just not today...not now
