Deep inside her netherworld
blinded to the light
she walks with steps delusion
she walks eternal night.
Make believe and fantasy
lives in every pore
her never ending story
behind a shuttered door.
Unicorns and dragons
fill the mind that died
her eyes see only remnants
reality denied.
In her world she is the queen
adorned with silver crown
hair of fairest touch
diamonds in her gown.
Nothing ever dies
in her wasteland of the blind
she can only see the lies
deep within her mind.
The way is locked and bolted
imprisoned in her dreams
she does not hear the others
she does not hear their screams.
Insanity we name her world
dementia is her realm
delirium's abundance
her senses overwhelm.
She cannot see the truth, all betrayal she forgives
she cannot see the walls, the asylum where she lives.
Author notes
Prompt -
[REF:] In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It's her reality

First off let me say that I really liked this. I think you hit exactly what I was hoping to see. I loved the lines,
She cannot see the truth, all betrayal she forgives
she cannot see the walls, the asylum where she lives.
Bravo! Well done.

Flawless rhyme and imagery in this.
Best wishes and hope you make it to the next round.
