Description
Every time I fall asleepMy dreams would take over
They'd take me to distant worlds
For all kinds of adventures
And every time I'd start to wake
They'd beg me to stay for more
For a long time I declined
I knew I couldn't stay
But one day my life went bad
And I only wanted to get away
So I forced myself to fall asleep
And met with my friends
“Lets go on a long adventure”
I told my friends
And like anyone else in dreamland
They were always ready for adventure
So we went to a new world
On a trip better than any other before
That day we explored a forest
We found secret paths in the trees
And found creatures never before seen
We explored for hours on end
Sharing stories and jokes all the way
I've never had a more fun time in my life
Then we came upon a waterfall
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen
My friends gestured towards it
I wanted to follow them
But I felt that it was time to wake up
That it was time to leave this place
But I didn't want to go
The waterfall beckoned me
But then I thought about what happened at home
I made my decision
And I turned to my friends waiting for me
“Let's continue exploring”
Though I felt a tug in my heart
A sharp warning pain
I ignored it and continued to play
After a while the pain went away
Though I was worried about what it meant
I pushed it out of my mind
Time continued to pass
We went on adventure after adventure
And I soon forgot everything
About where I was
Why I was there
And about the real world
Dreamland was my home
I didn't know who I was
Where I came from
Or why there was a pain in my chest
Everything was about having fun
There were no worries here
By time I finally remembered
It was far too late
When I closed my eyes
And opened them again
I was still in dreamland
It had become my reality
It didn't concern me for long however
For in dreamland
There are no worries
So my problems were soon forgotten
As I continued adventuring
With my dreamland friends
And now I've made new friends
Those who still belong to reality
It made me wonder about my friends
And whether they had come from reality too
Now I always remind my friends to leave
Lest they be entranced by the wonders of dreamland

wow this is AWESOME in the full, i love poems like this, they're pretty much all that i write!
i love the fact that you ran away into a dream and then describing yourself as being lost
in your imagination, to the point that you forgot all about reality, that's what genuine dreams
do,
i do have one question...
Now I always remind my friends to leave
Lest they be entranced by the wonders of dreamland
why did you use to the word "lest", why would you want to prevent them from being entranced?
i am not saying that the verse is not beautiful and captivating, it is! i am just wondering??

The character describes during the poem that they became to attached to dreamland and decided to stay there, only to find that they could never go back. Those lines are saying that the character doesn't want others to make the same mistake as them by choosing to never return to reality
