Altered

In this new world, voices run free. 

I left that other part of me with my family. 

In this alternative universe-

I feel welcome. 

I feel embrace. 

The voices don’t seem so evil. 

It is reality that is evil to me. 

Time matters less to me. 

But I feel guilty-

Because my family is fighting with time. 

I have the power to go back. 

Let me wander first-

Because I feel cold and peaceful. 

Let me explore first-

And maybe I will remember the lessons in this dream.
