worlds apart

everyday
we wake
to a world created by our thought fear joy
a kingdom empire republic
made in the image of your consciousness.
we manipulate the weather
cast spells over others
rule with an iron fist
entertain dignitaries of foreign lands
while basking in imaginary perfection.
no one knows the truth
the world in which you live
all they know is their world
all you know is your world
until someone decides to open
let in the unknown
to take a chance on one another
to feel happiness and lose.
we keep ourselves isolated
strategically revealing pieces of ourselves
never revealing our whole self to one person.
