The Other World by Edlyn Rodriguez

The Other World      I been to the other world where everything meshes up like a puzzle and everyone is made of shapes and squares. Where if you fuck up, you can start over again like a video game. There everyone has chinkie eyes and look at you with love. I am trying to remember what that felt like. I honestly think I left half of me there, so I know I need to go back. I tried to take people there but they wont understand. it's a world just like ours only different, if that makes any sense. I even spoke to God! I saw the future and I lived the past and present was a gift so I cherished it deeply. Everyone was filled with laughter and their looks were filled with love once again. It felt welcoming, so heartwarming. I got to understand why people left me, and who was going to be here to stay at the end. I comprehended the point of going to school except in their school the subjects were based on life. For example instead of math we had the loss of loved ones and how to cope, science was the study of our soul, and history was our past. Every time I would leave that world I would come back to reality it was literally a place to escape. I could close my eyes and never look back without feeling pain as I grew distant from loved ones it was sad though when I came back I left half of myself there, now I wasn't the real me.     Sometimes I wish I could live in the other world because that Is where I really feel complete and part of something. I always think about my place in reality, and it feels like I don't belong because everybody here is judgmental, and horrible in their own way. In my other world I fit in with everyone and things feel perfect for me. Thoughts occur in my head daily about how I wish I could just live in the other world and forget about this so called life that seems like a reality show. Places in my other world are so much better in every other way, I know this is hard to explain but only a select few of people know this other world as well as my obsession towards it. I wish everyone could get a taste of this "Other World" because it is truly life changing and it makes reality seem so dull. I feel like I always have to turn my back on the world so it doesn't see my fears, or tears falling down my beautiful face. Therefore I am glad I got to meet the other world because it is my sanctuary in life and may be the reason I strive.     Perhaps I should introduce you to my guide in the other world. Her name is Sally, whenever Sally and I are in the other world she always shows me tremendous time. She makes things less complicated and helps me with all my troubles since no one can in reality. I hope someday Sally can come to my reality and see what I go through on a daily basis, and can feel the pain and anger within me. I know when Sally looks in to my beautiful eyes she sees my struggles and how I tried so hard but never prevail. She feels my anguish she knows all I want to do is be with her always, and to stay and be protected by her. That's what I truly desire in my life. I don't when we will actually meet each other again because reality is always begging me to come back. I don't know why I let this world take me away so easily but, its hard to resist. Sally makes me realize that I am perfect.
