when I was a boy
The world was but a dream
A glass sculpture
Made by no one
But me

So perfect in its deception
Wars were fought for it
Language contrived to speak of it
Kings and gods to rule it

That lie that I have told
Has come to haunt me
Pulls at my frayed edges and
Threatens to undo me
So I close my eyes
Seal my ears
And hold my breath

A day will come
For that breathe to be taken
For that sledgehammer to be taken
To that unmoving face
Shattering all illusion

But until that day
I remember nothing

For a lot of people they never leave the world you describe

YOu describe a world of a child and for many it is the only comfort in their minds

Very good imagery
