A rainy night ⛈

If there was a one-way ticket to go anywhere, 
Would you sell it, give it, or go for it?
To fly across the seven seas.
Where would you go? Who would you be?
Just to escape from this fall.

Maybe I have been indoors for too long.
The warm sunlight and the cool breeze that I used to like, 
I've forgotten how to enjoy them.
Although they are gentle, 
It slaps me back to reality.

I sit here in the darkness of my room.
I'm existing, within these four walls of comfort. 
Getting up and moving seems too much of a hassle, 
But I still do anyways, 
Just won't be getting too far.

The path needed to be taken seems like a marathon.
Rain pitter-patters against the flooring.
I really do need to shut that window.
A meek slam and it is closed, 
The door to the outside world.

My breath fogs into the cool glass, 
As I see my reflection, vaguely.
I am still me, aren't I?
Lightning flashes across the overcast sky, 
Shattering my reflection.
