the world is lonely when kept behind glass, caged within the solitude of my bedroom. days begin accumulating, all whilst I linger in front of the familiar windows counting seconds as the days pass languidly, sedating me in a secluded 'paradise' of my own making. Here, I am shielded from your shortfall and my own disappointment. Here, I know im not to win, for I am unwillingly, and constantly, losing. Still, I sit stationary watching as the leaves fall off the same trees they grew on a week ago.
