Is there a way to get away from something without thinking about it? Hope is out the door at this point, which was the last thread of this mess. And yet the thread stays taught. Tying me to the cage, with the door wide open. I can see everything outside, but I'm stuck on this thread. My hands rest upon the button titled "reset," which makes everything worse. I reset to before I was tied up, and somehow I always manage to get caught in the same exact way. With freedom at my view, and a cold wall to my back.

What about a new coat of paint? A new string perhaps? If I must stay in this awful place, lets change it up. Lets make it so the "reset" button is labeled "alter" so that my mind won't suffer this humdrum experience in the same way at all times. I realize that I will most likely be stuck in a room like this, with the world at the windowsill that is my eyes. But can't I get away without thinking about where I am?
