you read fiction
to escape your world
in search of any magic
you can find

i read poetry
to make sense of
all the magic i’ve created
in mine
i get it now

you like living vicariously
through those who live
in fantastical worlds

and i like riding dragons

you were always going
to choose courtney,
just like you’re going to stay
in this job that you hate

because you enjoy
the limitations of the four walls
of your comfort zone

and that’s okay

but it doesn’t work out for me
and i’m not willing to wait
for you to have the courage
to see what fantastical things
await you on the other side

i have dragons to ride
