Book of Correlations

The Book

Break into a window.

Caught a glimpse inside.

Slip in through the splinter.

I am wondering what's inside the house.

Hopeless interest in nothing

a new book that I found.

I'm finding it hard to read it.

Still I'm happy for what I found

I'm happy for what I found

I'm happy for what I found

I found some piece of hope in every page of this book.

The window camera caught me breaking into the house at dawn.

I don't seem to know what I am looking for in this home.

But, for every room I see I'm understanding more of me.

I'm understanding more or me

I'm understanding more of me
