Caged Away (100 word poetry)

A mysterious girl (@sonakshisrivastava)

A mysterious girl

Standing outside

an old abandoned house

with broken doors

and cracked windows...

I thought

about its past glory

and its present

state of solitude...

Walking around

the house to see

any signs of

life or misery...

And then

after going around

I finally saw

a beautiful window...

Behind it

was a curtain of

strings of beads

colourful and lively...

Noticing properly

I saw a girl

behind that screen

looking at me...

Taken aback

I leaned in

and saw her

lonely eyes...

Calling for help

to free her

from this mess...

Leaning in closer

I realised

it's nothing

but my reflection...
