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
