My Alternate Universe 
I face my reality, as it is, a
curse.
I know that I live in my own
alternate universe,
but I am not
alone, there are other’s that dwell here.
In this
place, this in between, a realm of hope, belied by fear.
On this planet, truths are
profound but too often hidden.
In this world, all meaningful
connections are forbidden,
only
introspection and existentialist pondering are permitted.
All who dwelled here, and who were
able, have long since fled.
Those, like me, who are lost in
thought still remain,
bound by the
uncompromising laws of pain,
broken by
silence, surrounded but alone,
silently seeking
sins to atone.
We can see the universe
in which you all live,
and some of
us are able to forgive,
that you can
not, or will not, choose to see us,
although our
alternate world, is parallel to your universe.
