Fictional

When I open my book

a door opens too

Promising a way out

An escape

The chance to ignore

everything

The headlines

the new reports

the articles

And sometimes my own thoughts

That bang around my head

Keeping me up at night

I want to get lost

In the problems of another world

Because I know deep down

They'll get a happy ending.

And maybe for a minute

I'll forget about my own

Please take me to the places

Where the impossible is possible

Where magic is real

And hope always prevails

Just for a little while

So no,

I don't think you understand

How much I long to be

Fictional
