Willing Ignorance

You view the world from your prison's lone window

not knowing that your cell is unlocked.

You spend all your days collecting those rays

not caring how often you're mocked.

You waste all your hours counting the flowers

waiting for the clock's final tock.

If only you knew how you're like a shrew

you could easily come out of that box.
