Idle Dreams

For hours I sit sealed away in my room Free from the world if only temporarily These four walls know me better than I know myself my mirror always a silent observer but a constant reminder of my solitude. I look out my window and am greeted by the world I want to escape from A dull town that knows no progression knows nothing of nourishing the life of the party I close the blinds as I fall back to my bed with disdain I experience moments of unconsciousness as I long for the places I'd rather be I look out my window and remind myself why I love to be alone Seclusion is my keeper yet my worst enemy
