The original Bedroom

 Back to the first drawers you used
To keep your clothes in
Packed tight everything well folded

The original bedroom floor
The carpet beige not yet stained
The thread of it soft but not strong

The first addiction
Bringing the teenager down from study
Distracting him from school work

Creating a mundane void
A place to escape
A state of numb

Other's faults and attempts at control
slip off like duck water
But so did opportunities
