It Ends in My Head

Wake Up,
Reality is calling,
No more pretending,

No more imaginary friends,
That tell you everythings okay,
No more magical wands,
That change the light of day,

No more talking animals,
That enjoy talking over tea,
No more sirens and mermaids,
That swim in the deep pink sea,

No more heroes,
And ladies in distress,
No more evil villians,
Who wisper to their ruby rings with
every caress,

No more buried treasure,
And the pirates who hunt for it,
The end of all epic adventures,
In my head...

Reality is waiting,
Calling my name,
Step out of my imaginary kingdom,
And nothing will be the same

The author's comments:
When I wrote this poem, I was going through some really emotionally tough times in my life. I was pretending I was okay, even though I wasn't. I wasn't facing my problems until they overwhelmed me, and I escaped in my writings and my books. I was putting off reality, and finally once I realized my problem (of not facing what needed to be done), I stepped out of my world.
