A Window.

Author's Note:
This is a poem that I wrote using a window (from my word association) and how it feels to look out one.  I am focusing on formatting and would really like comments. 

As I look out a window,
I see everything.
Everything in the world…except me.

I like that feeling of being on the outside
Looking in.

When I look out a window,
I am in control.

I know that I can exhale and it will all
Disappear.

It will all turn into a blog of smoke
Dust, nothing…

I can sit there knowing there is always
Something,
Separating me from the rest of the world.

Rain. Fog. Dust. Space.
Everything.
But me.

You cannot make a mistake in front of
A window.

If you wanted,
You could sit there forever watching other
People.

It gives you that feeling of nothingness.
That feeling of relaxation.

No chance of failure.
No chance of falling.
You are safe--guaranteed.
