It's a poem for those who just love fantasy, for those who find themselves constantly running away from their problems. It's a poem that's for anyone who's just wanted to escape the world, if even just for a little while. Hope it means something to you.","content":"_Living in a Fantasy_\n\nTumbled down and feathered fall  \nSometimes we've just got to  \nRun from it all\n\nWe run and run  \nBut where does it take us?  \nInto another world of fun.\n\nSticks and stones don't break  \nOur bones  \nEvery day we fake\n\nWe close our minds, our thoughts  \nAnd open our eyes  \nSeeing what an evildoer has wrought\n\nThis new world is better  \nThe grass greener, the sun brighter  \nThe people nicer, the water wetter\n\nThis world protects  \nAnd serves its people right  \nAway from the society that infects\n\nSome days are hard  \nSome days harder still  \nThere exists no magical ward\n\nNo magical place  \nNo mystical hero  \nOnly many enemies to face\n\nIt's a darker reality  \nMade easier, a bit  \nTo believe in fantasy.\n\n~bhscorch\n\n[![Creative Commons License](http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nd/3.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/)  \n\"Living in a Fantasy\" by bhscorch is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/).\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/570194-poem-86-the-end-of-the-world.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/605594-poem-88-dark-tunnel.json"}}
