Imaginary World

The first friend I ever had
Was a special one to me
Invisible to all,
He showed himself only to me
A friend just for me

Then, as I grew up
More began to join him
I soon was surrounded
Invisible friends all my own
No one else ever saw them

Then, as I got older
My parents began to tell me
They they only existed
In my imagination
But I know they were really real

As I continued to grow
They continued to tell me that
Until even I believe
I began to ignore them and push them away
And pretty soon they disappeared

Then I was all alone
No special friend next to me
I soon became sad
There was no one to play with anymore
No one to console me

Then he came to me
My first friend ever
I told him to never leave me again
He told me he had never left me
I was no longer alone

I had my friend back again
But I knew my parents wouldn't be happy
But then I had an idea
If my imagination had created them
Then maybe I could create a world for them

So I used every bit of creativity I had
And I created a special world
I no longer saw them around me
But whenever I could
I visited them in my imaginary world
