Fantastic Reality

What does it mean to keep explanations age-appropriate? I remember being influenced to hold onto fantasies as reality Until my reality started to seem like a fantasy These explanations led me into situations of sensational revelations Sweet tasting fantasies disrupted by a bitter aftertaste of reality Wise young children believing everything they are told Lies bewildering and nurturing a fool to unfold You crawl before you walk, you walk before you run You follow before you lead but no leading has been done I’ve watched and learned that But I’ve lived and learned this My two worlds are mixed but some WILL dismiss either fantasy or reality Two polar extremes I fluctuate in between Never a stable mean to lean Average seems to evade this perverted scene A hypocritical fiend scheme I refuse to birth an additional confused youth as a muse To persevere the abuse as a pawn Because I’ve held on and hold onto a fantastic reality that actions and words Pronouns and verbs I, We, They, Us Analyze, Repair, Progress, Maintain An environment of lives that are never in vain A reality borne from a fantasy
