The sun peeks in through my tapestry

making my eyes flutter open.

I don’t have anything I need to do and there is know where to go,

but here

so I glance around my detailed room lazily instead of getting up:

There are three Star Wars posters on the wall

A New Hope

The Empire Strikes Back

and Return of the Jedi

A Star Wars calendar showing princess Leia holding a blaster in her white robes, reading March

On my mirror I have some stickers one being the Mandalorian and the Child

Just above the mirror is an oil painting I did a few years ago of Luke starring off into the Binary sunsets

On a separate wall is a bunch of some sketches I’ve done, among them are:

Darth Vader and Luke’s first lightsaber battle

Some pastel figures: R2, Boba, Rex, and some Stormtroopers

There is also a large Darth Maul sketch among them

Further to the left I have a media stand for my record player, above that sits my large collection of vinyl’s hanging on the wall

Just below is my movie collection, where all the Star Wars movies sit in order

Next to the record player is a magazine sorter which holds a few Star Wars editions

Lastly I look to my bookshelf, which is the most detailed, prized possession, in my room

It is filled with, probably too many books,

my mom says,

but is home to all my Star Wars books

Scattered throughout the bookshelf are little trinkets:

R2, the famous little droid

Cade Bane, a notorious bounty hunter in the Clone Wars

And the Millennium Falcon, the fastest ship in the galaxy

I noticed all the Star Wars things because I felt like Yoda must have on Dagobah all…

Alone

With only the Force to guide him.

To the right of my bed is my huge Twenty One Pilots flag I got on tour

I was still covered by the huge TOP quilt my sister got me for Christmas this last year

Back over by the record player was hanging each album on vinyl:

Vessel

Blurreyface

and Trench

Hopefully I’ll be able to get their first album on vinyl and Regional At Best

Thinking about TOP always made me think in general

I probably thought too much,

but that’s why I like TOP

Whatever is wrong with Tyler is wrong with me

This made me think about all the time I had on my hands

I could finally work on my blog, more painting, and sketch

I could…

Pour-Out

All this thinking made me glance back to me bookshelf

Up at the top on display was my Alice in Wonderland special edition, gold page, beautiful red book,

I’m painting the roses red, so that the queen doesn’t chop off my head

I’m staying inside, social distancing so that COVID doesn’t get inside my body

Below are some comic books my favorite being the many Joker ones I own

He smiles back at me from the bookshelf taunting me

I look away only to stare him in the face again

Sitting on top of my mirror next to Harley Quinn

Why does he bother me?

Usually he makes me smile

Perhaps it is because I am feeling…

Caged 

I’m stuck here, not living

I think as I gaze at a mystical world painting I did

It is beautiful and I wish I was there

Instead of stuck in here

I can get away however

Looking towards the bookshelf once more

Into my many books are places to flee

I can get…

Lost

But whether it’s one of my Science Fiction books

Or a fantasy adventure it won’t be real life

As long as I stay here inside these stories I will always be on the…

 Outside

Watching

Never being able to interact

Condemned until

We are able to go back into the world
