I built a pretend world around me
and lost myself in it,
I thought the real one was
too unpredictable for me to commit.
Every day I sought an excuse
for me to withdraw
so I could delve deeper
into the dreams I saw.
For when I was asleep
I knew I could relax,
there was never a danger
of coming under attack.
Here I was protected from
any unnecessary thoughts
the very ones which invade my waking
hours and tie my mind up in knots.
A safe haven to where
I could always retreat
if my days got too much
for me to complete.

Beautiful poem
