Suspended disbelief is only momentary.
The engulfing emotions so temporary.
We fill reality with useless garbage to feel,
Something other than what is real.
*
Pain is only momentary.
Yet the scars are etched into memory.
We may stop the bleeding,
But the memories are never receding.
*
Happiness is only momentary.
We clutch at it, fearing the scars we carry.
We may be elated for years , months and days,
While insecurities tell us it’s only a phase.
*
What then is not momentary?
Casting this poem as temporary.
If I knew I would share that truth.
For now I pretend to forget. To soothe.
*
It’s all just… momentary.
What helps you escape the difficulties of life? What emotions do you find overwhelming you?
A-Scribe To Describe 
Lovely, as are all your poems. You have a talent and a gift.
Thank you Rae 🙂
Such a wonderfully written poem! 🙂
Well, books help me escape during difficult times because vacations aren’t always feasible, to be honest. This is probably why I gravitate towards fantasy – it takes me to a whole different world. 🙂
Thank you Nandini. And yes I agree, books are cheaper than a vacation haha. Then again, dreams are cheaper than books too, if only we could do it on a whim.
