«It's quiet... I missed it so much…» — Summary

It's quiet... I missed it so much I love how it pulls me into a wonderful world of my own Where mafias, dragons and androids get along I miss it so much, one could say I miss it too much

I don't want to grow up Yes, I'm selfish so what? In this world everything is tainted That's how the humanity painted

Here the speaker misses a private, imaginary place and wants to stay there. The opening line, "I'm actually gay as hell," followed by the marker «* * *», reads like a blunt, offhand statement of identity, though the poem never links it directly to what follows. Then the tone shifts to something quieter. The speaker describes a calm space where mafias, dragons and androids "get along," a playful image of a world where unlikely, even dangerous things coexist peacefully.

The speaker's feelings are tangled. There is real love for this place, but also a hint of worry in "one could say I miss it too much." The second stanza turns more defensive and bitter. "I don't want to grow up" and "Yes, I'm selfish so what?" sound like someone expecting criticism and pushing back first. The final lines say the real world is "tainted" by how humanity has shaped it, which explains the retreat. The mood is wistful, a little stubborn, and tinged with sadness, like someone hiding in imagination because reality feels too heavy.
