• When I ran away
    Did I mean it?

    I ran to the outskirts of my mind
    Filled with disgust.

    I created a world of my own
    Filled with strange creatures and memories
    That I didn’t even understand.

    I trapped myself
    In confusion and fear.
    For I kept seeing your face
    Unexpectedly.
    Was that the reason for my rage?

    Have I built an empire
    And named myself the king
    Of all the bitterness in my mind
    Against you?

    I have.
    You never let me live.

    But I wonder if
    My empire
    Is slowly
    Killing me.
