stuck windows

the windows stick
closed,

painted in, shut from all sides.
unmoving.

while outside
is where you want to be.

but these thoughts,
these
old
dreams

have kept you from
being free.

you need a hammer,
a chisel

and the muscle of love
and
redemption

to get out. so you bang
and bang
and bang.

until that day comes,

know that once out
you'll never go back
again.
