I BECOME REAL

I am fantasy; I come to life in dreams in the night,

I am not real, a made-up story created from a pen.

A cartoon, monster, fable, or nursery rhyme,

I become real with the Imagination from a mind.

Superheroes and Frankenstein do not walk the streets,

Magic spells, wizards, and wooden boys are not really seen.

I become real when the world is a scary place to see,

All Impossible things are me when you believe,

I become real when what you pretend never ends.
