Born Apart

It's painful when you realize there's a part of you that's incapable of existing in this reality
cold
distant
unfeeling

And yet that part feels like it must be here since he was the one born to it,
even though attempting to exist here is painful

It's even more painful when that separation from this reality connects him to so many other realities, allowing him to see and draw on infinite worlds

So much beauty
so much pain

But in all that beauty and pain is the gift of knowing that this is not the only reality,
even when others believe it to be

You can exist in all, or one
You can visit all, or one

It's hard for some of us, knowing that the other realities are out there,
knowing that if we can just get 'it' right, that we, too, could see for ourselves

It's frustrating
