The Woman in the Corner

The Woman in the Corner

A Poem by Scarlett Brooke
"

Haunted by the ghost of my future.

"

Everyday she haunts me, the elderly woman standing in the corner of my classroom

She is bitter and tired with stark white hair that falls around her wrinkled face

No longer does she have her youth or pretty clothes to distract from the scowl permanently etched upon her leather-cracked lips.

Her familiar blue eyes scream of regret and warn me of what's to come.

Everyday she haunts me, the elderly woman standing in the corner of my classroom

She is very quiet as she waits.
