Imagination
Giant dragons
And heroes with great big sword
The little boy with love to share with the world
Keeps reality behind closed doors
His huge imagination
Soars through the skies
That he says is green
Because he alters everything just a bit
Everything pretend
Is better than the pain he endures
Whenever he plays games
They are always happy from beginning to end
Because he wants to know
What love that never dies
Feels like
Whenever the game house is played
He uses his imagination to pain
The life he never had
And at seven years old
Dealing with a druggie mom
And an alcoholic stepdad
With no biological dad in the picture
Is quite saddening
Imagination has become his only escape
Because he can fly with the dragons
Away from this wretched place
Imagination helps mask the reality
That has caused his loving fragile heart
A great deal of pain
