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.

the part about no expectations, no pretending. that's exactly the kind of space i'd live in if i could. sounds like peace.
-
when you open your eyes at the end and realize you only needed the quiet place, is that actually how it feels, or more like you're hoping?

i recognised the part about needing a quiet place to remember you can face things. i hear that in my bones.

the tomorrow feeling like a warning part just hit different
-
when you're in that world you created, what does it actually look like? is it a place you've been before, or something completely made up?
-
that thing about the clock chasing you. i guard my commute time the same way. nobody needs anything from me on the train, and i'll never give that up.
-
when you close your eyes and go somewhere else, does it get you away from the same pressures every time, or is it different things depending on the day?
