Can't you see
This world I was not supposed to be
In
I want to get out
As voices in my head
They begin to shout
And I don't know what to say
As I live my life this way
So instead
I stay silent
I live in my mind
I create
A different place
Where I have no need to escape
I'm where I belong
I no longer long
To be free
