That Other World


I am in this world deformed,
Rendered useless by some,
But unbeknownst to them, 
There's a world that will accept me.
It comes through the TV screen,
in the form of kingdoms, mazes, and caverns.
I can take to the skies, swing a sword at those who question me, or find treasures that will never surface in the real world.
My thumbs resting on a controller in the real world, I can be whoever I want.
Do as I please.
Cause havoc I never could in the space around me.
Create a city.
Save a princess.
Destory a giant Mother Brain.
For that lovely little time, I'm something I'm not to this world.
I'm a hero, an assasian, a constructor, a solver, a fighter, an adventurer.
To that world, I'm a somebody, and nobody can tell me any different.
