Prompt 30 June 30  " There is the Door to which I found no key..." Omar Khayyam.  both given by Jagari Mukherjee 

I don’t know

How I came here

At first

I thought it was home

A cosy place

Then a refuge

Against the world fracas

Nowadays tis a prison 

From which no one escapes

The walls are immaterial 

I can’t get out

There’s no window

The air is stale

There’s a door to which I found no key

Monte Cristo had the right idea

Only once dead

The portal opens

I’m condemned for life

Inside my own mind.
