/feˈnes.tra/ - noun
a window, an opening for light,
Haec domus quattuor fenestras habet.
This house has four windows.
I am a shadow
Of who I used to be
Look through my soul's window
You shall readily see
That I can not speak my mind
Or articulate my thoughts
With hopes and fears combined
Into monstrous mascots
That tower over my subconscious
Watching my every move
That my self, once ferocious
Is now an empty Louvre
A museum of what could have been
And what reality has wrought
Idealism peppered with shattered dreams
A desert of thought
