with one foot in this world
and the other in another
is the only way I know how to exist

filled with stories to the brim
like a vacation from life
forgetting who I am for a while
or perhaps finding out
not who I’m supposed to be
but who I want to be

don’t force me to leave behind
all those heroes and villans of mine
such a violent act like ripping my heart from my chest
and if you think it’s just a jest
you don’t know how deep my love is
for fantasy worlds
