I used video games
To escape reality
For it is lonely
And boring

I read books
To escape reality
And to gain knowledge
For the world
Is depressing
And hateful

I learn my native languages
To be connected
To my ancestors
And to escape
Reality
Because English is too real.
And boring.

I use my art
To express my anger
Without getting
The police
Involved
For I have been ******* blued and tattooed.
