my world of words

this is to those who say i am ancient in a modern world. those who pick at me for my love of words. hopefully one day they will see this

this world is filled with false laughter

made true by the surrounding nations

“who are you” they all say

“to say this is not real?”

i have seen and felt true happiness

not from your petty falls 

that offer no more than fleeting joys

“why on earth does it matter?”

i hear them all proclaiming

these simple joys are child's play

when you feel the truth

for i promise it is more wondrous

better than your simple ploys

i try to tell you of what i’ve found

me you just brush aside

where is it you say

hidden inside my mind

a world of letters and of words

a place i call my own

you call out, say this place is dull

i pay no mind or sway

lies lies i watch you say

i smile and walk away

to my world of love and fear

a place i know is always near

it never changes, never dies

it always remains by my side 

a place being forgotten by time

ignored as this world grows

beware beware my innocent foes

your time as well will draw near

just as this world is being forgotten 

so yours will spin away

please carry on laugh and poke your fun

your time to will draw near

but now i simply smile and pull away 

at your incompetent jeers

as for now, my world remains

full of honor and joy and war

so here i will remain, until you take it away

for it is here as you sneer 

and i smile and walk away

you ignorant fools take your time 

i am happy here in this world that is mine

Wow, after reading this your comment on my piece means much more, You have an amazing talent. I see you are only 15, please do not let education stifle your ability. Just because certain people have written in a certain way does not make it the correct way. Remain individual and focused because damn this is quite something. The first two lines especially. Well done
