Identity Theft
The Basement

You stole my identity
And let me breathe among the enemies
Where values are not shared
You might think that in the same culture
Yet it isn’t the same
Because I’ve created entirely my own
Made from pieces of glass, metal, and wood
To expose things in a brand-new hue
Understandable only for me
And solely reachable from my desert island
Sad, lonely, and cold
Yet it is my own piece of world
Wonky, lame, and broken
But I can call it my tiny bit of heaven
Where I can separate myself from others
Barely comprehending what am I doing here
For the future fame
In the shade of my own hard work
