Fantasy Land
Escaping to a place of hidden fantasy
Where the land breathes beauty, and the elf folk run free
The moons reflections lay still upon the lake by night
As the cluster of fairies remain quietly out of sight
I watch the over grown forest, with its magical tress
That seem to dance ever slightly in the gentle breeze
Laying to rest down on the forests floor
Of this place I've come to deeply adore
I listen as the night sings its lullaby song
And as I drift off into sleep, I think of this place and how I truly belong
Waking to the coldness of my bedroom floor
I realise I've visited this place many times before
A place so beautiful it couldn't possibly be real
This fantasy land I've created so I don't have to feel
Where the land breathes beauty, and the elf folk run free
The moons reflections lay still upon the lake by night
As the cluster of fairies remain quietly out of sight
I watch the over grown forest, with its magical tress
That seem to dance ever slightly in the gentle breeze
Laying to rest down on the forests floor
Of this place I've come to deeply adore
I listen as the night sings its lullaby song
And as I drift off into sleep, I think of this place and how I truly belong
Waking to the coldness of my bedroom floor
I realise I've visited this place many times before
A place so beautiful it couldn't possibly be real
This fantasy land I've created so I don't have to feel

Sarah, your poem is beautiful, but I want to say one thing: you have to feel and experience your feelings so that you will know what to do next with them, ie how to live with your emotions...your poem describes a sanctuary, but a sanctuary is not permanent, you need to step out into the sunshine and bury your sadness once and for all...p.s. advice from a sister to a sister cuz I know exactly how you feel :)

Nah I understand what you mean in your comment. Its something I used to do for a long time, just try and escape all the bad things cause it all hurt too much. Hehe, most people don't know but im seeing a psychologist to learn ways of coping with what I have going on. Thankyou for the comment though.

you are a very brave person and good luck with everything...my father is a manic-depressant and takes medication, without which he would probably be dead or hospitalized...once again, i wish you the best!
