My Worlds
September 6th, 2011
Melyssa S. Ryan
Welcome to the crossroads of my mind.
From this single point stretch many roads
Each with their own persona as a guide
Some are sweet and some are wild.
Others are protectors and righteous heroes.
Though I fail to suffer from a disorder, I see a part of me in each
Some are linguists, others great fighters
One is a chef the other a great musician
There is even a princess and an assassin
Each possess the key to several of my unique worlds
All born of the simple question "What if…?"
What if he had a daughter?
What if one of them had this talent?
Would he have died if she were there?
These worlds owe their beginnings to many other minds
I create a character with a piece of me in her heart
She becomes my hand in the story
Sometimes I change the outcome dramatically
Sometimes I change very little
Sometimes my worlds mix together in the most amazing ways
They fill my dreams and fuel my imagination
I invite you to peer inside my mind as many times as you desire
I may open these portals at any time and step into a persona
Often I am forced to leave before I would like, but it must be done
Reality will not let me be, but my worlds allow me a multitude of temporary paradises
It all depends on how I feel.
Do I feel regal?
Do I feel outrageously smart?
Am I accomplished?
Or maybe I feel light of heart?
No I am not insane
I simply have not forgotten how to look at a box and see a pirate's treasure, a dark spooky cave, a royal ship, and a wizard's tower
In the words of an anonymous genius…
"Reality is a nice place to visit but I'd sure hate to live there."
