All I Need

Sometimes I would like to go and disappear,
Visit a world that is farther away, nowhere near. 
Where whatever I do will not be considered a sin,
A place to know I am safe, a place that I will always win. 

With the knowledge I have and the books I read,
My mind is filled with life, it's all I need. 
With a smile upon my face, it doesn't matter to me,
I'll be gone for a little while, but I will be back, see?

Stretching out a layer of feathered appendages,
As I step out of reality, everything seems to freeze. 
Now, I can return to the place that I know the best,
And I can leave for a while, leave the rest. 

One day, this whole world I know as reality may fall apart,
But the world I know in my dreams, it remains in my heart. 
With that knowledge I have and the books I read,
With a smile upon my face, it's all I need.

Beautifully said, as it seems you should know. I must say your style is gorgeous. This poem brings tears to my eyes because if people could really do this, I'd want to be one of them
