Two Worlds
It’s amazing how easily you allow yourself to be swept into a world
A story
That is not your own
You cannot help yourself
For you can’t help but feel that
You were the one who slayed the Minotaur
You were the one who outlasted all of the other tributes and outwitted the Capital
You were the one who chose the vampire over the werewolf in the end
You were dauntless
You were the only one who could unlock the past
You were the one who cracked the DaVinci Code
You were the one who destroyed the horcruxes
You were the brightest witch of your age
You can’t help but wish that
You were the one who restored order to these places
You were the one who saved the day
You were the hero
You wish to be anything but yourself
But you can still be a hero
To not just some, but a great extent
If you learn to live in both worlds
And use what you have learned from the one that you cannot step foot in
For good in the one that you walk.
