I’m lost in a world
No one else knows.
I’m stuck in a dream
No one else sees.
With an unreal friend,
And an enemy I haven’t met,
And the sea next to them,
Deep and blue.
The salty wind in their hair
But the foe doesn’t care
He takes out a hidden weapon,
And my friend must run,
But I don’t know how they got here
Because it’s only chapter one.
I look up for a second
From my hidden world,
And see the flashing lights that surround me.
Someone is texting, sending “hi,” to a friend,
Another is playing a game.
I sigh, defeated, retreat to my world,
As the one around me fades away.
Then chapter 2 starts,
And we get backstory,
And my friends not a friend anymore.
The foe is paying him back
