The room has one bed,
	on the wall, filled with paint.
		To sit, have to share with a wheel.
			To eat, the ice cream is on the floor.
    Even the en-suited urinal, doesn't flush the right way.
      Well, I thought, it's just two nights for the moon...

You are what you are,

		With nothing to look back.
Let go of doubt,
	More would come about,
		It's best to go out,
			And keep your mind at shout.
