Life

i see the window from afar
it shines and glistens in the sunlight
from here it looks so clear and beautiful
i take a few steps forward
the sun slowly begins to fade
i walk faster
i want to see out
i want to see this glorious sight called life
i am almost there
its not so clear now
i look out and all is dark
i press my hands up against the glass
hoping to feel the warmth that im sure the sun has left behind
to my surprise i feel nothing but an eery cold
something wet drips onto my fingertip
this is warm
i look to see if maybe the sun has begun to return
no, no sun
the warmth begins to flow in and seep through the panes
i scramble to see what it is
blood
blood that holds me in my world
blood that soaks through my entire being and blinds me from
all happieness
the window disapears
now only this blood red wall of pain
i know now the the window will not be back
there will be no sunshine
i am no longer a child
and i will forever be here
haunted by myself
haunted by the image of a perfect life that i can never reach
