A room with no doors and four windows

Am I a trapped jinn
Confined to a cell
In a closed bottle;
Where I could see ’em all
But live or feel none of them!

Am I the lost princess
Caged up above
Waiting to be rescued
By a frog or a knight
None in shining armour!

Am I in a dream
Where every window opens
Only once every season
To watch ’em come alive
Only to see ’em die!

Should I take a peep
And make a brave leap
Where the bird would fly
And I would cry
Landing on a flower bed as I die!
