My escape

The world scares me

It’s a dark lonely place

Where friends can turn foes

And soulmates can be replaced

I hide myself behind my avatar

My life stands no chance of victory

I have to find a new world

An alternate universe, hidden in my darkened room

Where I can be who I want to be

A rogue, a protector, a healer

Where I can die a thousand deaths or live the blissful life I dream

No eyes to judge me, no words to break me

I don’t have to pretend to care, or please anyone

I can escape myself and the clutters of this world

Where I can finally be happy.
