Sitting in this tower
I cowar
My window a beckoning towards the world unknown
I sit and stay
What is going on out there?
I wonder
Too afraid to find out myself
No one keeps me here that i cant overcome
Yet the unfamiliarity unsettles me
And the yearning i feel is somewhat
Painful
But if chains are wrapped around my ankles
And the key is in my pocket
Whats preventing me from setting myself free
From these monstrous shackles?
I woke up today
Hungry
A pitt in my stomach that i cant feed
Because food tastes like ash
And the unabashed sadness
Residing in me
Makes me empty
Perchance i'll go back to bed
Unfulfilling this empty void
I want to stay awake, and not run from it
But sleeping pills are the only thing i can stomach so
Goodnight to you
You can wave me goodbye
Theres a chance you wont see me for a long time
But something stirs me from my sleep
The air smells funny
Why cant i breath?
Oh no
My tower has caught aflame
And flames begin to crawl up my legs
I ponder of the world outside
Perhaps it cant be worse than the burns forming on my flesh
My window sings a beckoning tune
And my eyes haze from the smoke
I step onto the frame
And brace for the cold hard landing
I can see the ocean from up here
Tranquility shining from the rays
It is so pretty outside
So why do i stay in my tower every day?
I leap, and
Suddenly im in mid air
And i wonder if i could stay here forever
If time would stop and i could capture this moment
Falling but im flying
As if i was jumping into a blue sea
Waiting for the water to crash around me
But i hit the cold hard ground
Reviving me of my pointless daze
The ground is alien to me
I take in my unfamiliar scenery
One foot in front of the other
I begin to walk
In slow, steady paces
Towards the unknown
