A World of My Own

Not in prison,
Just walled up,
In my own world.


What does it mean to be in your own world? Is it good or bad? When a teenager, I often came across people who didn't respond when they were talked to. It was as if they were in a world of their own, seemingly not noticing other people or the things going on around them and worse still, couldn't care less. Some might respond by looking back quietly, queerly even;and it bothered me then, making me wonder if there were anything wrong with me. Then, age set in and I began to build a wall and have a world of my own. To be in a world of your own could be good or bad, I suppose; depending on which side you are in. Just pick the right side!
