An Imaginary Friend
My Sylvia adventure began with a dream
Starting with a window in a towering castle
And a magic-drenched girl—Sylvia, it may seem.
When schoolyard life became a hassle,
I could slip into a whole new existence
As Sylvia, a braver, bigger, better me.
Why, Sylvia, is it your insistence
That you cage me in and not let me be free?
Sylvia, you make me withdraw from the world!
You make me breathe you every day and night!
And that is why, I tell you, that I hurtled
To new dimensions, to many a new sight.
Even so, you—yes, you—are my very first
And if I let you go completely, I might as well burst.

Sylvia Green is my beloved character. I wrote this when I was going through a tough spot in one of her stories.
