My world fell down!
It crashed all in one night,
It pinned me to the ground —
to knock me off my Path…
And so my own Path I declined!
I took the world of others — and learned to lie.
A hero in their eyes — or so it could appear…
A world of alien words, of borrowed longing,
A world of falseness, loneliness, and rot,
A world of alien faces… things… and something —
AND DARK.
