Escapism,

You'd think with all the words in the world,

You couldn't fall in love with one,

You could fall in love with so many words,

A dictionary of in love,

In love-

Escapism,

The tendency to seek distraction,

Escapism,

Or Relief from unpleasant feelings,

Escapism,

Especially by seeking entertainment,

Escapism

Or engaging in fantasy,

Fantasy,

What is a fantasy

Is it getting lost in the dreams you hope to be?

Am I truly escapism,

Or am I a stuck word on your tongue,

You're choked up,

And you can't say what I truly am.

I am escapism.
