Alternate Worlds, Alternate Voices

Poem by Jasmine De-Rosa Rashid 9S

We sit here in this world in this life

As we take life with the clasp of a knife

But we never wonder what others think or hear In this Universe that we endear.

With a population of 753 billion

Not even with a quarter in Illion

We are on our own railways

Our lives being multiple phrases.

But what if there were others out there For which this universe is something we share And they live in their own worlds and galaxies

Which we think of as nothing but fantasies?

These different living things far away Who knows maybe they are made out of clay? We might never see or hear these creatures. So are we unknown to their features.

But that does not mean they don’t exist

So we should not let the idea be dismissed. For this world we all love Should be shared with those above.

Some people might also hear voices

Which indicate their different choices

Everyone has at least one

Which is the one we use to communicate a tonne.

But we also have other sounds

Coming from our heads' grounds

These sounds are good and bad And write down our options on a notepad.

Many people in our one world

Sometimes go through their life being hurled

So we use our different voices and lands

To escape from our choices uphand.

I live in multiple worlds away from this one.

I live in books, movies and poems which are all very fun And the multiple voices in my head make me who I am.

I am sure even those famous had voices like Mr Abraham

In conclusion I live in this world with the voices in my head

For I must live this life to the full extent as we only hang by a thread

Everyone has these similar thoughts, sounds and lives

For we are each different and unique like the blades of knives.
