I locked the door myself today, The house was left alone. I flipped all the switches Folded the dresses and pants The lights were turned off, And off I went. I stepped in the dingy elevator Two posters on either side of the wall There was an old man beside me We both pressed zero. in a minute I was on the ground floor. In one hand I had my phone The other held a glass bottle shiny I waltzed to the near by station, Slow paced, my eyes curious wide open I looked at the people I passed, I heard a thud and a terrifying crash I prayed for everyone’s safety The sun shined kindly And gently I reached my destination at last It was different because I locked the door By myself today, no one in the house. I walked more responsibly I smiled light frequently I saw a dog leap As I saw the cat pounce I locked the door by myself today I did not play any music, I felt like the owner of the house It was but brick and tar with beds inside In my pocket I put the keys If I had a pet I would wash it for fleece If I had a kid, I would take them with me If I had a lover, I would kiss them in their sleep But today, it was just the house and me I locked the door by myself today And I stepped in to build a life for me. I was set free.

I locked the door by myself
I locked the door myself today, The house was left alone. I flipped all the switches Folded the dresses and pants The lights were turned off, And off I went. I stepped in the dingy elevator Two posters on either side of the wall There was an old man beside me We both pressed zero. in a minute I was on the ground floor. In one hand I had my phone The other held a glass bottle shiny I waltzed to the near by station, Slow paced, my eyes curious wide open I looked at the people I passed, I heard a thud and a terrifying crash I prayed for everyone’s safety The sun shined kindly And gently I reached my destination at last It was different because I locked the door By myself today, no one in the house. I walked more responsibly I smiled light frequently I saw a dog leap As I saw the cat pounce I locked the door by myself today I did not play any music, I felt like the owner of the house It was but brick and tar with beds inside In my pocket I put the keys If I had a pet I would wash it for fleece If I had a kid, I would take them with me If I had a lover, I would kiss them in their sleep But today, it was just the house and me I locked the door by myself today And I stepped in to build a life for me. I was set free.
