53. Your World

You escaped.

You live in a world

Where the sun never shines

You live in a world

Where it's always raining

You live in a land

That's barren

You live in a land

That bears no fruit

You live in a place

All alone

You live in a place

Your own lonely, private hell

You live in a universe

Where the sun can't reach you

You live in a universe

Where the light can't touch your soul

You live in a house

But it's not your own

You live in a house

But it will never be your home
