altered perceptions

 
altered perception affects a soul
I see and hear things others don't
so I have to hold onto what I've been told is real
ignoring the voices that tell me differently
I share my existence with them
I honestly don't know if my mind is making them up
and they are from my imagination
but I think I must have an exceptionally good imagination if that's the case
 
they tell me things I wouldn't know otherwise
like archaic words and somehow I know the meanings
dimensions in hell and the spires there
I wonder how I came upon this knowledge if my demons are unreal
and I'm not talking about things that bother me
I'm talking about otherworldly beings
they have a hierarchy and language of their own
they follow traditions  
they recognize us
though to most of us they remain hidden
 
the Earth is full of magic
what some call miracles
I ask what is the difference between miracles and magic?
I think most of  you have encountered otherworldly beings
but were quick to dismiss them
 
I have no choice but to hear
all the things my mind doesn't understand
