The Art of Otaku
In the days where the world seem grey
I was shut out with my family
The grassy fields were my only friend
In the morning light, it would greet me hello with a warm smile
At dusk, danger fills the fields.
It told me to stay away
It was my only friend until my family moved away and so did I
Now I had no friends
Every day, the window shows me wondrous things
When I look out the window, I dream in the light
But my mind is bound by reality
I can never escape from there I thought
As long as a person has the will to shatter a dream, one cannot escape reality
It is forever my prison
But how can one be imprisoned in reality
Simple
It rests upon who can will reality
The Father holds the key and chains
The Mother constructs the cell
The Sister accompanies the imprisoned
It feels that when I caught a talent, it was a key to my path of freedom
A skill honed with a pencil is useful but costly
Too often can lead into a disillusioned path where the traveler cannot turn back
Not enough will end up back in an imprisoned reality where a skill is restrained
Now I hold the key and chains
I control my reality
My talent is embraced rather than forced restrain
Where will talent lead me to
No matter the size of the rocks in the path I choose
New companions behind me will aid my safe travel into where it will lead me
Speak my language of Otaku
And I will listen
Interpret my thoughts in pencil
And I will sketch thank you
Understand my dream and passion
And I will befriend you along my travel
