Overwhelmed

This Magritte is a favorite of mine - thought somehow it fit
Need a distraction? I know a few.

When I don't want to think -
When I don't want to feel,
I go to my diversions
Covering my obligations,
Hiding my responsibilities.

I wrap myself in
books - movies - music - fantasies

And the rest of my life can be
pushed aside - ignored - forgotten - frozen

for a time.
