Outside My Window Contest

A bird's eye view, I observe their nature
I witness their highs and lows
   Memorizing their absurd behavior
As bipolar as the wind that blows

   Their emotions range from despair to ecstatic 
Their tears flood the earth below
   Keeping my distance, I reside in the attic
Behind a pane of glass in my safety chateau

   Although enticing, the idea of affection
I steer clear of what's outside my window
   I have only myself and my reflection
The chance of pain, I'd rather forgo
