Escape To A Daydream Poem by Sloan Johnston

Escape To A Daydream



I lay awake in another sleepless night
Nobody notices my silent cries
I smile and wave to the people I see
I will never let them see the real me

Is it to hard to notice
Notice the brokenness and confusion inside of me
I think and I wonder
but it does no good
It's better this way

I have away to escape
Because being asleep in my daydream is a part of me
now I say hello to the good
and goodbye to the bad
It's hard but
I know that I should

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this in class, history i think. I felt alone and upset because I'm doing an exchange to Spain and I go to school and classes, but I speak very little spanish. So I have no idea what anyone is saying, my exchange partner sits a ways a way from me. I find that when I don't understand I day dream a lot. I can be almost completely gone in a world of my own. It's my first poem, its not very good but its how I feel and it will have to do for now.
