My Bed in a Strangers Room

Once again I find myself laying in bed and staring with empty eyes at my room.

 

In my mind this is not my room, and I am not here.

 

I view my surroundings as if they are a photo I hold in my hands.

 

This isn't my life, but a glimpse into someone else's;

 

I judge them for their mess and chaos.

I admire them for their creativity .

 

I judge the way they let their partner treat them in this space.

I admire the compassion I see shining through despite that treatment.

 

I am able to identify both my best-self and my worst-self

While looking down at this snapshot of a strangers room with my bed
