Limitations

This idea is not mine at all! This was given to me by a friend, and she allowed me to translate it into writing for her! All credit goes to her!

My anxiety took hold of me, it wrapped me in my inert demons. They danced inside me, origins the most damned parts of hell. They played with my mind, controlled my feelings. I couldn't relish in such feelings of conversation and delight.

I looked at him.
Stared at him.

He was different than the others around me. So different, but why?
What made him different?

I looked at him trying to his thoughts, tried to catch his train of thoughts. He seemed to be going on his own course of life, his own thoughts were in haphazard directions. He thought differently, I couldn't predict what he was thinking, I couldn't tell who he was.

He definitely didn't it into a category. It's like he was almost beyond all this, as if he passed the boundaries.

He looked at me.
He stared at me.

I saw what I see every time he looked at me with those eyes of his. What made us the same, no matter how abstract we were I saw the same thing I go through through each and everyday.

My demons.

They hid behind his eyes and laid there. They danced and pranced across his mind, pulling at the strings of his heart and too cutting his reality.

We were one in the same.

These demons were our limits. They were what held us both back from touching that world out there. From enjoying the pleasures of conversation to fitting into a category. From watching the stars that fall to hearing the birds that sing. The rain that goes pit pat on my window and the morning dew of a night's rain.

These demons were our limitations.

They held us back from the world, indeed they did. They didn't hold us back from each other, through a thick crowd I can still see those eyes. I can always find you and you, you always find me. Our limitations couldn't hold us back from each other no matter how much I've tried.

Our limitations didn't understand that we were different. That I was down here and you up there. I watch the world pass by, I've long passed trying to catch up. You on the other hand- chase! You chase after a world that didn't accept you, you see to touch it, to obstruct a balance of categories and "peace." The two greatest facades but it's okay.

It's only our limitations.
