I've read so many books, been to so many places, fallen in love with so many characters, only to realize it was all a fantasy.
One moment, I was a pirate fighting giant sea monsters and searching for great amounts of treasure, and the next...I was being called to go to school.
One moment, I was a princess dancing in a regal ballroom with a sinister prince, falling in love, and the next...I was being called names in the halls of my school.
One moment, I was a huntress, hunting a wicked enemy of mine and being pushed against a tree with a dagger to my throat, and the next...I was breaking down, tears flowing in the wet and cold bathroom.
One moment, I was flying on broomsticks and casting spells that flew with bursts of purple and blue, and the next...I was writing another useless essay.
One moment I was lost in an exciting fantasy, living, and the next I was in this world, existing. The wonders of losing yourself in a book, surrounded by the feeling of belonging, just to be pulled back into the boring and harsh reality.
The reality of a fantasy is that they don't exist. No matter how many demons I've slain in foreign worlds, no matter how many places I've traveled while sitting quietly in a dusty library corner, I will also be hit with the pain of existing.
Nothing in this reality compares to the millions of lives I've lived as someone who is important.

Hello! I'm finally back after a few days of taking a break! I always get lost in my own daydreams and books I've read, just to stumble back into this life that we live. It's truly pitiful that we cannot live within the books we have fallen in love with.
Soon, we'll be flying with the stars and with our favorite characters, so hang tight and keep dreaming!
Hope you lovelies enjoyed this! any suggestions for future prompts or poems?
