I often wonder when I am stuck in my thoughts. Like feeling like the cement is taking over your body. Why I am me‚ and I do the things I do and I say the things I say. And then I wonder if it is a paradox or something we truly don’t find out until we get older until we have many experiences and learn not to do things and we go through some hard things and some happy and some sad and we regret.

The windows and deep shadows form the figure of demon smiling‚ deviously teasing back at me while I breathe slowly on my bedroom window‚ creating a cloudy condensation that I use to trace a face on. A small spider has made a large web in the corner of my window screen and the silk is translucent and reflects the last slivers of light peeking over the banister.
