Only Me

I stare out a blurry window and dream...
With squinting eyes I see past self esteem...

I press my lips on the glass and speak...
Muffled words and distant sounds barely leak...

Water drips faster down this chilled scene...
With the image of a faded smile slowly seen...

My hands wipe the coated vision that I see...
To the reflection in a mirror of only me...
