Dear World

Dear World

By Rahan Asaan

Dear World:

Hello, how have you been?

I’ve missed you since I’ve been away.

I’m writing because I can’t hold in these horrors I live every day.

I’m not okay, but I’ll survive, I just hope not to lose my soul. This place tends to eat you alive as time begins to take its toll. Trapped with the worst of mankind, (still doing the best that I can) It won’t matter if I lose my mind; after all, wasn’t this the plan?

Dear World, I’m reaching out to you, while apologizing for my crimes. But I’m exposing the wrongs my captors do which I’ve witnessed a thousand times; I see evil in their eyes and hear hatred in their voices;

I’m forced to listen to their lies since they’ve left me few choices. They can take from us all we own, with the exception of my pride. They read my mail and block your phone

Hoping your love can’t get inside. Dear World, will I see you again, or am I trapped behind these doors?

Please write back, but until then:

Lots of love.

Sincerely yours…
