Ode - Ode to Fantasy

Before thinking about what I was going to write a poem about, I thought that all dreams had a purpose, but I have come to learn that not exactly all of them might be easy enough for us to understand. So I chose to write about dreams and fantasies to reflect my thoughts about it.

-Ode to Fantasy-

When we sleep in the night-time, we let go
Of all the struggles that we come to see
We enter a world we seem to know,
A place of comfort, special place to me.
We all dream, we all think of that one dream,
To have it come to life, for good will;
If it's lust or desire, it foresees,
As egg-whites or flour or a fresh cream.
In a barren land, where we are to kill,
Not just an army of men, but some fleas.

Dreams and nightmares, equally one,
The fear that we feel leads to our loss.
It smothers us until resting is done,
Take control of yourself, you are the boss;
Don't sweat it, kid, luck is on your side.
Nightmares just come and go, night after night,
Darkness of the dream world, as we know,
Suck in your gut, show us your pride.
Don't give up on yourself, face the light,
It will wash away, like the melted snow.

When we think of fantasy, we go out

Of our heads to see what is real,

We fear reality, without a doubt.

Consider it a lost cause, what to feel.

In our souls' content, you forget

About all of the times you let go,

Memories lost are moments of old pain.

Truth given away is what you regret;

Take the fantasy apart, take it slow,

Will you live your life or dream once again?
