Have you ever been lost in a world of your own?
I know I have, many a time.
When I let the story unfold, be it
By means of the printed word or
Received by my own ears.
I become lost in a world of intricate storytelling,
Adrift in a sea of fantastical knowledge
Known only to me and the others who love the same things as I.
Time unknown to me begins to speed up.
Hours become minutes, minutes become seconds,
And before I know it, days, weeks, months have passed.
And if I were ever offered a chance at escaping this joyous maze, I would reject it.
Being eternally stranded in the perfect world is fine by me,
Even though it is composed from the imagination of mankind.
But when I am torn away from this world, it is hard for me to adjust to normal life
Outside my world of which is still going on.
I sometimes forget this and try to compromise by living my world all of the time.
Everyone has their own little world in which to create their own reality,
And this helps to create their personality.
Everyone has their own tastes, and views on things
Which is what makes us unique and extraordinary.
But we are influenced by the works of others, and I must say
That without the past to direct and guide us,
The present and the future would be much poorer than they are now.
