Relinquish all the fairytales
As reality sets in
A daydreamers worst nightmare
Halted, before it could begin

An imagination that’s run wild
Alluring and a tease
Condemned for all damnation
To capture and release

An epic journey adventure
To the depths of the unknown
Fear of falling and of failure
No comfort for the soul

Always facing danger
Adds to a building plot
Your choice of weapon is quite puzzling
After all, it matters not

The winners been decided
The battle has been won
The troops are still divided
The war is not quite done

Who shall play the hero
In this epic tale?
Who will save the princess?
Or locate the holy grail?

Is there a fire breathing dragon;
Lying amid the caves?
Does your army adhere to their king?
Is there not one of them that’s brave?

What will happen when you find the beast?
Will it suffer it’s defeat?
Or will you shiver in your timbers
Run and yell “retreat”!

The imagination is a fickle
thing
It must endure and run it’s course
It’s what conjured up a Pegasus
From a plain old rocking horse

It’s a gift for all the children
Blinded from the pain of life
It’s a comfort for a timid mind
To be the hero of the night.
