Surrounded by people,
in a room where no one sees me.
I am trapped in my mind,
foreign.
There is no desire to be known,
rather, disappear.
There is no escape,
hell.

A beautiful sunset
against the horizon on the Pacific.
I crawl back into the woods,
home.
The dark trees towering over me,
looming into the abyss.
I am cradled by nature,
heaven.
