My Imagination

My imagination

wild and crazy

scampers through my mind in endless loops

crowding out the busy sounds of city life

and the voices, oh so many voices around

My imagination

soundless and unnerving

creeps up on me

It drags me from the noises of the outside

and forces me to listen to just them

My imagination

calming and tranquil

brings me back from

sadness and anger

regret and pity

They bring me to a nice place

filled with the things

I could hope for and maybe never have

Things that bring a warm bursting feeling

to my aching chest

My imagination

distracts me from the outside

and creates worlds

so different from each other

and they are all my own

My imagination

My life that I could

never live without
