The glass window

Poem By: OHSHCKaori
Poetry


Living inside a glass window, what's it like on the outside? View table of contents...

Watching the world outside it all,

It's like watching through a glass window,

Everything is on the inside,

And here am I.

I see the people,

I see the party,

I hear the music,

But there's no one out here.

People on the inside stare,

I call out to them,

I reach out to them,

No one reaches back.

I touch the glass window,

I hear the music,

But no lyrics, just silence

Silence outside the glass window.

There it was

The hammer to shatter,

The silence of the glass,

The glass world I lived in.

That hammer, was you.

the observer only watches through the window, never participates, but as soon as that window is opened or shattered, the chance to live life is right there. good poem! i've often felt like i was always just observing people live their lives.. it seemed so interesting that way.. heheh but living life is the way to go =)

Beautiful Kaori.
Romantic even.

A hammer was all you needed to break out of the glass that shelled you from everything... Is the hammer a woman? Or better yet, God.^^

Good poem.^^

You know, I'm not sure who was the hammer. I think it just depends on the reader and their interpretation of the poem, because maybe the glass for one reader may be the fear of rejection and the hammer was someone who gave them confidence. I think it's best left up to one's interpretation.
(In my interpretation, it was God. Good gues!)
Thanks for reading, you have wonderful insights.

He is my old boyfriend. . . . strange, most of my poems are about him.

A lot of them have the same underlying meaning.
