Yesterday all dark and strange, today feeling like a "non-entity" - I don't feel real.

Want to say it's the "ghost feeling" I had awhile back and recorded here in my LJ, but this is a little different - it's very simular to that feeling. What makes it different, it's what the unicorn in Peter S. Beagle's "Last Unicorn" went through - people would look at her and see not a unicorn but a regular everyday horse, they couldn't see her for what she really was. When captured by and displayed by a traveling carnival, the old woman that ran it could see the unicorn, but knowing the majority of visiters wouldn't she used magic to make it so they would see the unicorn or rather a false image of one. Pretty depressing thing to read, people so "blind" they can't see the real wonder/truth before them. The other animals in the "Creatures of the Night Brought Before the Light" display were all fakes, regular animals with magically created false images to make them look like mythical creatures - the unicorn and a harpy were the only real myths in the display and they had to be "coated" with a false image to be seen as mythical.

That's how I feel right now, people look at me and don't see the real me.

I'm not a regular animal - nor will I slap on a coat of magic to be seen for what I really am!!!

If the "blind" can't open their eyes and see the real me, that's their problem and it's not my job to fix their sight.
