alone
It's me, alone,
in this room
sitting across from the picture window
watching the colors being painted in the sky
it's me, only me in this room
with the knocking on the nonexistent door
being drowned out by the pestilential silence
and the life long lock
It's me watching the birds flutter
to catch a work for breakfast against
the rising backdrop of day
others cannot see the beauty within my room
I won't let them in, I can't let them in
I can't find the door....
It's me humming to break the silence
along with the rushing water just
outside my picture window
It's me, alone, in this room
sitting across from the picture window
seeing the beauty others cannot
because they don't like the color and size of my house
sticks and stones can break my bones
but silence cannot hurt me
so it's me, alone, in this room
god it's so lonely
