An Escape
Daydream,
 I will daydream.
 I will remember my daydream.
 Verb.
 Noun.
 
 Verb: to daydream.
 To momentarily forget
 All that is occurring around me,
 Everything that is troubling
 Or painful or too much to handle.
 To be able to go to any
 Country, planet, or made-up world
 That I can think of.
 My imagination can take me anywhere.
 
 To be in this fantasy,
 Even if only for a little while,
 Feels amazing. I am in control.
 I can be anyone I want to be.
 And do anything I want to do.
 Nobody can interfere.
 
 I wish I could escape
 More often.
 To just imagine
 What it would be like
 To be doing something
 Completely different from what
 I usually do.
 
 But, fantasies cannot
 Last forever. Soon enough,
 I will come back to reality
 And live normally. No more
 Imagining an alternate world.
 No more being whoever
 I want to be. I must 
 Eventually realize the truth.
 
 I will simply remember the noun,
 The daydream.
 Just one seemingly
 Meaningless daydream.
 Although,
 It is not meaningless to me.
 I will think of it
 Whenever I get frustrated
 Or bored
 Or even tired.
 
 This memory
 Will keep me going
 Long after it happened.
 I will be happy whenever
 I remember it, knowing
 I can always go back.
 All I need to do is daydream
 Again.
