my window

by night, when the colours of life itself vanish

my window experiences metamorphose

it changes, when the sun sets and the shadows grow long

and with it I change, unpreventably


I turn inside and cut myself from the world

I isolate, and lose myself in the depth of my thoughts

because what was a window at night

turned into a mirror


the exterior is invisible, beyond my eyes

and I only see myself, see my flaws, see my pride

there is no escape, when the outside is dark

the further I go, the closer I come

every road has the same direction


it is then, when I curse my window

that holy access to the world


because whenever I tried to look through it

I saw not the outside, but myself through the window

a window that became the door to my world
