Shattered Dreams

When I was hurt I built a place to stay An escape from the pain At first it was an impression of people I needed in my life Then those characters came to life The world I dreamt of was whole until It became separated by war From characters to a plot line my dreaming unfurled of a place I longed to go More distant I became until my family worried I faked it with a smile and told them I’m fine The life happened it it hurt for awhile Things I didn’t understand happened to fast Yet I knew were I could go Into my bedroom I did dwell but my thoughts flew away to Windsor itself I lived there until I felt better then faced the hell I was force to survive Thoughts and expectations piled on high I found comfort in Javier and the others Even though they are my own thoughts They feel so real And when I come back to the real word The travel with me too I showed them my world it was the greatest pleasure to have an invisible friend To show them my thoughts, my fears, and my passion that no one seemed to understand I live between dreams and life where I can see my friends though others can’t They made me who I am Yet I cannot spend my life in a daydream though that’s where I want to be.
