Even though I cannot leave my house

I sometimes peek outside my window

Looking out I start to feel like a scared mouse

So I just go back to my pillow.


Instead of leaving or going out

My feet get stuck and my chest gets tight

And all I can do is pout

because just out sound of my touch is a beautiful sight.


I have mesmerized the view

Then out of no where somethings happens

something triggered by a cue

I never know what happens.


I can't breathe fast enough to feel my lungs

I get dizzy and almost fall right down

My heart starts to sound like pair of drums

i cover my ears to block out the sounds.


Life is not easy for a person like me,

But one day you'll see me out drinking sweet tea.
