Paracosm

In a dream-like state

Inside my mind Is a World I create.

A paracosm with endless possibilities.

I escape the world's hostilities.

I’m different than most but also the same,

We all face sadness and pain

In this existence, what do we hope to gain?

I hide behind a heavy curtain

in my paracosm I am certain

I have the world in the palm of my hand and when things don’t go as planned

I go back to my inner land

A place with beauty and peace.

Departed from all my anxieties.

I ponder what life has in store for me.

I stress and do my best

But I just want to be put to rest.

My fantasy land is where I have retreated each time the world has me defeated.

Until I have found my life’s purpose

The paracosm is where I’ll remain.

Hello everyone, above you just read my first attempt at writing, I guess what could be called a poem. I hope to improve my writing and get all my ideas and feelings written here. So I hope you all enjoy.
