Analysis of Real

Real,
The word that stifles imagination,
That constricts
And confines us
To mundanity.
A word
That negates the possibility
Of dreaming
And exploring
Beyond what's seen.
What is real
But a limiting label?
A dubious denotation
That cages us in?
How can something
Be real
If it's subjective
And varies
From person to person?
Real,
A word
That's used to discredit
Anything
That seems beyond
The norm.
A bane
In the hands
Of the uninspired
Who seek to squash creativity
And form.
Real,
A term
That devalues magic
And discounts
The intangible
Beauty of the world.
A word devoid of possibility
And hope,
A concept
Too confining
For the true meaning.
Seekers.
Real
Is the worst word
In the lexicon
It dismisses the imagination
Which is the true essence
Of being human
And robs us
Of the power of creation.
