My Little Room

In an empty hallway,
voices of the past echoing,
hollow footsteps linger,
only memories to fear.

A single room at the end,
brimming with silence,
door closed tight,
nothing in or out.

Through a window,
vibrant sunlit sky,
flourishing weeds,
predators lurk unseen.

The hallway beckons,
with no empty promises,
the outside world repels,
the odds are stacked against.

Alone with my thoughts,
there's no hurry...
