I lay here,
Wrapped in my daydreams.
I have forgotten,
The world around me.
No matter where I look,
I see a daydream.
Even when I see,
What is right in front of me,
I never truly see,
Because I have forgotten reality.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don&#039;t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don&#039;t necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. -The Doctor

This was aboslutely amazing and so memorable. This is something that can be carried on with you, and it's something that MOST people can relate to. This piece is better than anything I've ever written. I am inspired by your great work of art that everyone can think about and get their own perspective on. I am so glad to return the favor by checking out your work because I definitely don't regret it. You are an amazing writer, and should continue to write. (:

Oh, I mean a different book. Not The Valley. But, in the other book, Liv is an energitic puppy lover who drives the main character crazy because Liv is always so bright, cheerful, and full of energy.

Great poem! Haha it reminded me a bit of myself I the sense that I am a daydreamer. I usually can not fall asleep at night because a fantasy of mine is keeping me awake. Beautiful word choice, and I think that the structure of the poem; short sentences etc, as perfect. Great job. May I ask, what was your inspiration for this poem? Great job, keep rockin. Oh and your name is Andy right? Haha keep rockin

Wow. This poem was incredible- deep, to the point, wonderful. I can really envision losing a grip on reality, and I love how the poem has so many meanings as you look deeper into it. The symbolism of daydreams and stress on the vial importance of our reality was very deep.

Who would have guessed that such a short poem would hold so much power? This poem is absolutely terrific, and I mean that with all my heart. It's almost like a short though, as if when you were writing the rest of this poem you were daydreaming and forgot. It's really hard for me to understand short poetry, so when i stumble across one i actually enjoy it has to be super good... And let me just say, this is good.

This is a great poem! It's so fluid and amazingly breathtaking, I had to read it three times just because it was so good! Nice job!

Congrats on it being on the front page. My new poem 'Ich Liebe Dich' was also posted very recent after I submitted it. I guess Teenink editors aren't too busy!
