The Plant

I am a plant.

I need watered and nourished,

In order to survive.

I have gone for weeks without any water,

But the occasional sprinkle.

Not enough to sustain me.

I sit alone in the window sill.

The sun warms me,

But also steals my nourishment,

That I get so little of.

At night, when it is cold;

I have nothing to warm me;

Nothing to shield me from the chill

From the outside.

My limbs are becoming weak

And beginning to wither.

I am unable to keep my leaves up.

I see people all around me;

Laughing, talking, loving, warming;

But still I sit in my lone corner

On the window sill.
