I wake up to birds chirping from my open window...
My eyes lock onto a brick wall next door that is a part of a building that is foreign to me......
I stretch and yawn, then I listen intently to the birds chirping from my open window...
I lie in bed and my eyes lock once more on that brick wall that long ago became a place that I abhor...
I lie completely still and my mind wanders randomly as I stare out of my open window....
I wonder what meaning my life holds
How will I die?
Will I die alone?
Will I be missed?
Where will I be 5 years from now?
Should I work some overtime this week?
I should really reach out to my loved ones more...
Maybe I should visit that place behind that brick wall and pray to that man in the sky and find some peace?
I jolt back to reality and pull my eyes away from my open window...
I stretch once more...
I then search for my phone...
And lose myself in endless ramblings on social media to those who have had my open window moments too
