7th Grade: I Am

I am torn between worlds with music always with me no matter where I go.
I wonder what time is and how I should use it in the future.
I hear nature saying that she does not want humans here,
I see the horrific, terrifying mark of war everywhere I turn to.
I want magic to come to the world to restore peace between beings.
I am torn between worlds with music always with me no matter where I go.

I pretend I am a knight of the peaceful realms of Tortall.
I feel the razor-sharp edges of dragon scales under my fingertips.
I touch my world that is dry and dead.
I worry what might become of the world that holds
my physical shell that is my body.
I smile up at the elves' cheery faces as they sing greenery to take form of their shelter.
I am torn between worlds with music always with me no matter where I go.

I understand that not many people place their trust that magic will come, but I do.
I say that no child should be burdened with a life full of work and death.
I dream that dragons, elves, and dwarves alike will come and help us with our lives
that are shadowed by war and death.
I try to bring many people into the worlds that I enjoy, to take them away from all
the war, death and destruction that awaits them back home.
I hope that somehow, someday, we will live in peace.
I am torn between worlds with music always with me no matter where I go.
