'A Fantasy Me 25/10/09 Poem by Margaret Alice

BUT I do not have to wear high
heels or have Hollywood hair, I just
use my imagination, look in the mirror
and see a fantasy me as I would like
to be, feeling beautiful

Experience the excitement of challenge
and adventure, daydreams sustain me in
a life of meaningless routine, boring rules
against everything extraordinary; stirring
my undercover agent personality into
the mediocrity of statistics

My cover provided by official conformity,
as long as my mind is free to transcend
consensus reality where administration
is my most challenging enemy, as long
as courage does not fail me, I shall
never change into a robot

My mind brings every fairytale character to
life, my feelings rejoice in the experiences
created by visionaries; all fantasies are
safe in my hands, I cherish them all…
