I am a traveller escaping reality settings 

A true escape artist emanated from the darkness 

Longing to discover new roads 

Navigated by dimensions not yet seen

It is Between open borders and Isolation 

where I become aware of my existence

The In-Between world is my home

Moving and staying 

Staying and moving

Reconstructing the reality I find myself in

Locked in dependency

Trying to break out

A new skin for the soul to wear

Seeking morality 

True the eyes of others I see myself 

My existence 

My presence 

My environment 

My skin

Imagining the future 

Going elsewhere 

My sight made out of choices

I haven’t been there before 

That is where the magic happens.
