Seeing Myself

Back from the imaginary world

The day dreaming me came alive.

The sunlight fell on my face

To brighten up my even brighter smile.

That well spent day,

Gave me each and every reason to make hay

And as the sun set down

I went to imagination while my eyes looked at the bay.

Magnificent was the scene

Where I wished I could have really been

And as the sun rose on the other hemisphere

I saw the lit up face of a recognizable teen.

Surprised me could see

And unimaginable creation of thee

And as it woke up

I was probably seeing one of the seven similar me.

That unexplainable feel,

Frightened the imagining me.

And I ran home

As fast as it could be.

But what made this experience unforgotable—

Was when I went to my room

To actually see another me

Standing at my front.

Goosebumps spread though my cold body

And I cried for help

When my mother came and confirmed

I was seeing myself.
