An Escape

You say that you are looking for an inspiration,
Something or someone to motivate you.
Find your true self, unleash your true potential.
However, what you are truly looking for is -
An escape.

An escape from your all-consuming thoughts,
From the spiral for your habits.
You need someone to pull you out,
From the deepest end of your own imaginary world,
A world where you are your own destroyer.

The truth is you want to run away,
From your own self,
From your patterns of feeling, thinking and being,
From your own mind and your own heart.
An escape from yourself is what you want.
