Setting my Imagination Free

by Famousity16

My freedom...

And my condemnation. imagination

Opens windows to scintillating sensations, but

Closes the doors to the realization that

When I ramble on about the things that strike me

As interesting ways to see views that

Have no limits. Please

I don't care about what you have to say

Is all the people really think of me and

They don't know what it does inside how

Reality is crushing the delicate life and

Slowly twisting the creative-killing knife as

My bitterness turns to strife because

Nobody is on my side. They

Mock me for my interests but

Wonder why I like seclusion best and

Truth be told I just want them to understand so

I bring paper to pen and I

Write out what I feel inside so that

Words turn to sentences that turn to stories that

In turn ease my worries of

Never being understood.

I've finally found a medium for

Others to read about my thoughts and

See them for their brilliancy and

Without expectations for conformity

Step into the nightmares and dreams

Created intentionally by me

So that they too can

See what I see

Know what I know

Feel what I feel

My freedom...

Not my condemnation. Poetry

Opens windows to scintillating sensations, and

Actually opens the doors to the realization that

When I ramble on about the things that strike me

As interesting ways to see views that have no limits

Other people can understand me when

I level with them and give them the tools necessary to

Widen their perspectives temporarily and

Clear the fog that separates my world from theirs.

When it comes to communicating effectively

At least for me

Poetry is a necessity that

Breaks barriers and sets words free to

Truly mean what they mean

But first and most importantly

It closes the divide

So my imagination

Can finally become

Reality
