Mellifluous Murmurs

Alone In This Room I Sit

I sit down in this room; alone and all afraid

because I don't know what life could come up with tomorrow

it can approach me, tell me I'm wrong, or just bury me under its pixie dust.

I sit down in this room; cold and frightened 

because I don't know where I'll be next week

it can come up at surprise and I'll be scarred for eternity.

I sit down in this room; crying and pained

because I don't know what might happen to be now 

I can vanish and never return...
