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
