I AM A WINDOW
Sometimes I get broken
I watch as something gets closer and closer
Until I shatter


I AM A WINDOW
Sometimes I crack
I’m so close to my end
But oddly...still stable


I AM A WINDOW
I watch the rain slide down
Just like tears
Then I realize, they are my tears


I AM A WINDOW
You can see right through me
These bitter truths that lie within
Covered by a window; hidden


I AM A WINDOW
I let the sun get close
I let it warm me in it’s rays
Like a smile; like hope


but still…..
I AM A WINDOW
My view, limitless
yet, I’m still trapped inside.

The author's comments:
We had to write a piece on personification. Normally, we would chose simple things or common items, but i decided on a window because i wanted to make a connection. I slowly started looking at things from different views and slowly, it turned into this little thing.
