One Window is All I Need

One Window is All I Need

One window is all I need
To sneak into the world
To ignore the wisdom of what I’ve been told
To do my best to make my mark
To stumble my way through the dark

To experience the trials of existence
To push my way through difficult resistance
And come out scarred and bloody due to my persistence
I strive to do the best this weary mind can
But I can’t prepare for the things I didn’t plan

A loss, a death, a private obsession,
An active appallment and angry aggression
Or cold obliteration by cruel oppression.
Painfully, slowly, needing to push on
To look up in time to catch a glimpse before the Hope is gone.

I took pride to think I came from a different breed
To think the life I chose called from a higher creed
But these chains that bind me wont let me be freed
Now I know that I will get stronger the more I bleed
One window is all I need
