Anthropophobia: The Fear Of Society

You let the darkness in, didn't you?
You opened the door, to the world of skies so true.
To the universe of truth and catastrophe,
A place of inhuman anatomy.
Caves of destruction and darkness,
Nights that are always starless.
Hey, it's pitch black in here!
I'm not alone, I'm surrounded by fear.
Is this the real world?
Where outcasts like me are hurled.
I don't think I want to stay,
But I just can't seem to find my way.
One wrong step and I'll fall back down,
Down to a world, where I'm sure to drown.
