My small dark universe

I am abide
To where I reside
With my pride
Staying inside
With sad & joy ride.

Although it was harsh
My small dark universe
Seems to be adverse
With conditions in diverse
But in my thought I preserve
Showing off in converse
Not allowing others to observe
The thoughts I conserve
To trace out its verse.

I was afraid
When I cascade
So what I made
Wasn't easy to invade
Confining myself to the shed
I apparently dismayed
Waiting for a mermaid.
