Lands I Once Ruled
Flipping through realities makes me dizzy
Views of planes flash before my eyes
Thrown into danger and lives not mine
Turmoil ensues around the one, not I
But I experience the pain, the joy
Emotions surge through my veins
I feel elated by the joy, the pain
Whole cities bend around me
Though not I, this one is pivotal
Rotating others in ways
I cannot explain why
Enjoyment is fronted
By love and death
But right as the story reaches a climax,
I feel the world ripped away from me
Pulsing waves of disturbance around
I feel my head throbbing and pulling
Me out, this world I’ve grown to love
Yanked from one plane and dumped
In another, back into mine,
A plane of unrealistic horrors
And unparalleled bores
I long to return
To lands I once ruled.
