It is cold and it is dark

In the room I’m in

With not a sign of escape

It has no windows or doors

No lights I can see

So I stay here for I know

It doesn’t want me to leave

But it’s not that bad

It will keep me company

It treats me the best it can

Tells me what I am

It teaches me all I know

It freezes me to the bone

Stops me from moving

Burns me with its frozen grasp

It gets smaller and smaller

It holds me down tight

I have no sign of escape

But escape is not needed

Out there I don’t know

So I stay here in my room
