Me Myself and I and My Avatar

My avatar is when I was about seven or eight Those were not my greatest years for me So I display this picture to remind me You see me myself and I were the only ones Who would play with me so my imagination Ran away with the three of me I stayed in my room for a fear I had inside That this drunk man would find me I could not sleep at night I had to have a night light My mother worked all night I dreamed of going here and going there I once was a dragon slayer I lived in my own little world that I never shared Until I started to write poetry now I can go anywhere That part of my life is over but it’s difficult to forget Writing these words that I create and others read Means the whole world to me Name Of Contest: Who is the star in your Avatar Sponsored by: Mark Massey Date Written: 01/19/2019

It sounds like you had a lonely childhood, Bobby. Glad you found friends in like-minded souls on Poetry Soup! Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn (And I think you were a very cute little boy.)
