Trapped Under Strange Stars

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well that I can never escape this world of chains. Trapped here lost in a foreign world, I can't even begin to find my way home.

Unless and until this life shatters to pieces I will remain in this cage.

Unknown to me are the ways of this land, uncomprehending am I of the laws I have not yet broken. This language, so awkward on my tongue, remains incomprehensible to me despite my attempts to learn it.

Where am I in this vast universe? Where am I in this world?

These people are strange and their reactions unknowable. They look down on me and lock me away, deeming me a madman.

What I know can never be known, so strange is this land to me. Unable to understand, unable to comprehend the madness nibbles at my mind. Soon what they think me to be will become my reality.

What happened to the life I had known?

These people to me are living dreams, so incomprehensible I cry.
