Fiction is Reality

Adults always speak

We shouldn’t read fantasy

Doesn’t prepare you

For reality, one bit

Answer this for me

How have I learned more

About life’s purpose

From people who don’t exist

Than from school lessons

The proof surrounds all of us

Harry Potter showed me

Love and friendship can conquer

Evil any day

Katniss Everdeen proved

That you should never

Give up on the ones you love

Percy Jackson taught us all

There’s a hero in everyone

Artemis Fowl revealed

The beauty in intelligence

And magic also

Lives underneath all of us

Steve Rogers taught us

Always be compassionate

And stand up for others

Tris Prior taught us to be

Always courteous

Always self-sacrificing

Never ignorant

Never untrustworthy

Always courageous

Thus, I believe

Those who never existed

Have taught us more than

People who have tried to teach us

Fantasy isn’t fiction but fact
