My Imagination vs. Their Reality

....it is ridiculous to label people with an 'overactive' imagination...

Seldom does the society surrounding
Possess the ability to grab my psyche,
For she wanders and ebbs continuously -
My mind, being, leaving behind my body.

My thoughts, world’s entirety engulfing -
A unity that enlarges my unseen sphere.
I am embracing all that lies around me,
With none knowing, I was ever even here.

That many of those defined as “company”,
Comprehend not an inkling regarding this,
Do I consider neither strange, nor funny…
But rather privacy perfectly marvelous.

To some, this phenomenon means little -
But I find it an infinite sea of peace.
Whereas to some it is a lonely struggle –
For me, amidst times of unrest, a release.

And so, to close - my stated “unreality”
Makes the harshness of living possible;
A gift that is of priceless worth to me -
My imagination makes existence livable.

I look forward to reading more of your words. I enjoyed this very much.

Society could never grasp the ideas of overactive individual thinkers, for society is a collection of mass thinkers. Really great poem, I like the concept of the mind being completely separate from the body.
