Fantasy - a sonnet

I have always wanted to run away
downs paths untread to see the world for once.
With friends I'd meet along the way, I'd stay.
With them I'd learn to fight, and learn to trust.

But no such path has ever come my way.
For nowadays the roads are always paved.
Adventurers are relics in our day.
True friends are few and few are truly saved.

I live my life mostly in fantasy,
What if, what then, that would be really cool.
Sometimes I wish for more reality.
I long for something more than home or school.

Alas it can't be helped, fiction will do.
I should be grateful that it isn't true.
