Windowed

By sole

I open my blinds after I get up,
And sit in my concrete chair.
All day, everyday,
Gazing out with a jealous glare.

I see the world in a pane.
Pathetic.
Disgusting.
Disabled.
It's all the same.

If I'm lucky I get some rain.
Usually I'm stuck with passing cars,
Bouncing balls,
And the occassional street football game.

Mundane.

I need something else to watch.
I'm tired of shiny cars strolling by,
And the tall grass in a sway
Being the highlight of my day.

I would break this window down
If it would take me anywhere.
Maybe feel the breeze instead of watching it,
And get a breath of fresh air.

Though it would only be a tease,
A taste that would haunt.
Something I can't have,
But something I want.

I watch life like a pervert,
Wanting it so bad it hurts.
I hate this room. I have this view.
I hate this envy and I hate you too.

If you could see what I see
Would you would act differently?
Flaunting and taunting me
With your normality.

I wonder what it's like from the other side.
What do you think of me?
Some insignifacant shadow?
A figure in the window?

    Fantastic write . . I am a huge fan of rhyme and I really enjoyed the way this flowed . . very, very nice. The story is sad, angry, bitter, resentful . . but it is all wrapped in a rather fine poetic embrace.

    Your rhyme is magnificent. It flows where it should and leads the reader through your thoughts. Not that the meaning is lost... It is brought out by the rhyme.
