let me hide from the world for a while
i’ll come back out with a forced smile
with the motivation to clear the pile
of work that’s taller than me by a mile
droning on and on about the same
“problem”, repeating select names
tired of my incessant whines
should i switch topics sometimes
a crippling fear of delusion
afraid to change my perceptions
that I'm too much of a narcissist
escapism is my hypnosis
my mind is clear
i have no fear
the end is not near
i am not here
