The lady who sits in the window.



The lady is in the window.

She sits in the window every day, staring out for something to say. The people she sees make her more pleased. So she can gossip and lie like a thorn in my side. Some days she will be the one looking in, and she will be the one that hurts from the lies and the gossip that they leave. Now her eyes are getting them. So what was the reason for all her sins? There is no one left; her life is gone. What a waste of time for us all!

About this poem

I was feeling sorry for myself sitting in the window all day so I came up with this poem anyway.
