5A poem I wrote for my friend, who has a very active imagination. She's been sent to psychiatrists for that, not a fate I'd wish on anyone, and has been downtrodden. On top of all that, she's got a hard life at home, too. This is for you, Heart…
Edit/Update: O-o Wow, I only had this up for five seconds before two people reviewed! And thank you for sharing your story, dreamforever101. I hope you and your friend will reconnect.
A Childish Dream…?
A childish dream?
Perhaps.
But would you really waken her from it?
Shatter her all-too-fragile heart?
Steal away her lonely soul?
Take away my friend?
A childish dream?
That dream is all that keeps her heart from shattering
Into a million crystal pieces.
That dream, as far as it is from home,
Keeps her from flying away in a million tears.
Fights away her deadly fears,
Lets her know she's not alone…
Even when I can't be there for her.
So stay away, lest you wake the sleeping angel,
And kill her dream,
In order to keep your harsh reality alive.
-KatyaChekov, to her friend Heart
May reality never overpower imagination in those who need an escape. At least, not too much… Reviews, please!
