The Window-Poem

She would stay awake
And look out of the window
She would see the mountains
And the trees

But confined she was
To the insides
A prison is what
She lived in

The window was her escape
From the prison
But lasted only for a while

She kept it a secret
For her master
If ever knew
Would take this away too

She would stay awake
And look out of the window
She would see the mountains
And the trees…
