Disclaimers ‘n’ crap: Haihai peeps! This is a poem that I wrote for Reading class and liked so much (and sat on my desk for so long) that I wanted to share it with the world. So, here it is! Enjoy.

I wake up and begin to dream

Of an alternate reality.

My own world that follows me

Everywhere I go.

A place of brave heroes

An mixed-breed society.

The old and familiar names

Echo through my head

With the new.

I reveal to and share this world with few.

Only those who know me.

Only those who understand.

My friends in this world,

This alternate world,

Are my supports through the hardships

Of life.

This place is my retreat.

My escape

And mine alone.

I love these fantasy people.

Though I speak to them not

In real life,

I go though the day

As if they were really there.
