In an alternate universe, I am happy.
I can laugh, I can dance, I can sing.
In an alternate universe, I'm not judged.
Not on clothes, not on weight, not on letters.
In an alternate universe, there is hope.
Hope for humanity. Hope for futures.
In an alternate universe, there is kindness.
Kindness, instead of hate. Kindness, instead of violence.
In an alternate universe, people are not perfect,
Because perfect is not something people can be.
Instead, my alternate universe has compassion and empathy and everything else the universe has forgotten.
I don't make alternate universes to prove people wrong. To hate. To bully.
I do it to escape. To escape the world I don't like.
And also, to hope that one day, my fantasies might become reality.
