It seems a
certain game
requires
you bring
my poem
past the
dangers
of war
through
death and
through
danger
to complete
your quest
in a world
unreal.
This is not
the truth.
I require
only that
you wend
your way
through my
reality
along the
stony path
past the
troll
of misunderstandings
to the
mountain of disbelief.
If you
stand there
upon the
tip of your toes
you'll see
the world
as it never
was.
This is not
the truth
For in my
world realities sail
bright as
ships on a shining sea -
only
slightly beyond the pixelated
blood,
sweat and tears
of
conformity.
So take
those words back -
if you can
-
past the horrors of war
through
death and
through
danger
to complete
your quest
in a world
as real as
you.

It has come to my attention (P.S. never google your name and poem - it can be a pretty hair raising experience) that there is a certain quest in Warcraft that requires taking "Alicia's Poem" from somewhere to somewhere else. Presumably.
-- I had to include this - in my comments Tim Jones outlined the true origin of the World of Warcraft poem - it's such a touching story, the death of a player inspired writers of the game to create this quest - and the poem to go with it - the real "Alicia's Poem" can be found here. Try not to cry.

And I thought, as any poet might (at least after the initial dicombobulation), that there had to be an actual poem in there...somewhere. Enjoy, have fun, and don't forget there are more worlds of poetry waiting for you...
