Fiction is Reality
Adults always speak
We shouldn’t read fantasy
Doesn’t prepare you
For reality, one bit
Answer this for me
How have I learned more
About life’s purpose
From people who don’t exist
Than from school lessons
The proof surrounds all of us
Harry Potter showed me
Love and friendship can conquer
Evil any day
Katniss Everdeen proved
That you should never
Give up on the ones you love
Percy Jackson taught us all
There’s a hero in everyone
Artemis Fowl revealed
The beauty in intelligence
And magic also
Lives underneath all of us
Steve Rogers taught us
Always be compassionate
And stand up for others
Tris Prior taught us to be
Always courteous
Always self-sacrificing
Never ignorant
Never untrustworthy
Always courageous
Thus, I believe
Those who never existed
Have taught us more than
People who have tried to teach us
Fantasy isn’t fiction but fact
