All starts quiet
In the center of this world.
But when the eyes close,
And the mind awakens
A girl is born
From the ashes
Of a pitiful life.
A cherished hero
This girl is;
Birthed by the mind
Of a longing child
Who still plays pretend
In the quiet of her head.
Who creates a world
For this wonderous girl
To reside in and play,
To bloom in and grow.
To fly
And laugh
And love
With others;
With everyone.
To be happy
In a false reality.
A place where she forever stays
A better version of herself.
Ah, but how fleeting this dream is.
It’s a farfetched hope,
A fading delusion
That always ends
During rush hour.
