I figured out why it hurt
Why it lacerated me so deeply
Why my world couldn't convert
From the view of me.
You knew what your world had,
Friends, family a home.
While my world was oh quite sad,
Filled with anguish and more of a dome.
A shell that only surrounded me
Leaving me to my world to see
The reason it hurt so bad,
Because in your world,
I was just another cast in your shadows.
In mine, was you, for in which I would go to the gallows.

Why it lacerated me so deeply
Why my world couldn't convert
From the view of me.
You knew what your world had,

While my world was oh quite sad,
Filled with anguish and more of a dome.
A shell that only surrounded me
Leaving me to my world to see
The reason it hurt so bad,
Because in your world,
I was just another cast in your shadows.
In mine, was you, for in which I would go to the gallows.
