Escapism

Written to those days, When you feel trapped, Bottled up. When the bed becomes your best friend Because you can't stop sleeping.
You just get into the bed, With a complete fear to overthink and cry, You close your eyes, Shrink yourself up, Hug the pillow force yourself to sleep and when you wake up you try to get yourself lost in one of your favourite books to not to think of anything.

Sometimes No matter how you wanted to be happy and tried to steal happiness, and No matter how you feel blessed. You just remember the things that make you sad or weak. Sometimes there are a lot of things beyond our control, and No matter how you wanted to not to care about them, You overthink and it ruins your happiness.

You don't want to get out, to see your friends, Because you are tired of faking smiles and laughs all the time. You aren't comfortable, and you can't show your vulnerability to anyone. Those days when you can barely breathe, But you have had enough from crying, You are forcing yourself to not to cry on something or someone that ain't worth it, You don't know why you aren't okay, Anyway.

Those days, When Sleeping is the only way of Escapism. When all of what you want is the day to pass, You just need it to pass.
On that kind of days, all you just want is somebody special to tell you those days are going to pass. To remind you that they are there beside you.
No matter how strong or independent you are. When you are vulnerable, You need someone to be there to cheer you up.
All you need is someone who will show you that they love you, That there is no need to fear anything.
All you need is someone who will listen.
but all you can do is to sleep, Escape.
Sometimes Strong people suffer more than anyone Because they refuse to show their weakness to anyone and they prefer to face even their sadness alone.

Sometimes I believe that the tale of the sleeping beauty is real, You are kept trapped until that prince comes along to wake you up, To break your independence and tell you that you aren't alone. That it is okay to be strong but there is someone beside you, but the fact is, that prince is a symbol, for special people in general, Not only in love or romantic ways.
This prince is a symbol for friends who get us out of that mood, Yes it is maybe someone who loves us romantically, but it is not all the time that way.

To all the sleeping beauties out there, You are strong, You are independent, You are more than enough, You have been fighting for too long, It is okay to sleep a lot and take a break from life, and wakeup to try to be cheerful again.
