Seems like I'm a mute spectator
Watching the world rush outside my window
Everyday holds a new promise
The excitement of fresh beginnings
The surprises of unusual experiences
I see them building something out of nothing
Getting tanned in the heat
Chasing their goals on broken feet
That calm in their eyes after a rough day
As they sip their favorite brand of tea
In the company of their beloved
Is worth staring at
And here I am
Yawning through a day
That began yesterday and hasn't finished yet
Sipping the same brand of tea and coffee since years
Unable to step out of my house
Because the sun burns me so bad
Sinking back into the stale comfort of my bed instead
Stuck in a labyrinth of what ifs and maybes
Trying to reach a threshold
But the finish line is nowhere in sight
Wading through the water at the slowest speed possible
Feeling my pulse drop lower and lower
Perhaps I shouldn't look out of the window at all
