I don't want to disappear.
I just want
a place
where my thoughts
don't feel so loud.
A place where
the clock doesn't chase me,
the world doesn't ask questions,
and tomorrow
doesn't feel like a warning.
So I close my eyes—
and for a moment,
I am somewhere else.
No expectations.
No pretending.
No noise.
Just me,
breathing
inside a world
I created myself.
But then I open my eyes.
Reality is still here.
And maybe
I was never meant
to escape it.
Maybe I only needed
a quiet place
to remember
that I can face it.
