The day was balmy
And I was as dull as drying paint
Plastered to the walls of my mind
While the world buzzed outside my window
I distantly heard its newfound restlessness
The soft murmurs of chirping birds
As the summer breeze came and went
Like gentle waves lapping up against a sandy beach
Had the world always been this full?
People had sprouted up out of nowhere
They flocked in crowds to every sliver of life
They giggled and cooed over themselves
But I was inside
My bowl of Cheerios growing soggy on the dinner table
The low hum of the fridge
Ricocheting within the walls of my mind
And I was as dull as drying paint
Plastered to the walls of my mind
While the world buzzed outside my window
I distantly heard its newfound restlessness
The soft murmurs of chirping birds
As the summer breeze came and went
Like gentle waves lapping up against a sandy beach
Had the world always been this full?
People had sprouted up out of nowhere
They flocked in crowds to every sliver of life
They giggled and cooed over themselves
But I was inside
My bowl of Cheerios growing soggy on the dinner table
The low hum of the fridge
Ricocheting within the walls of my mind
