The Crazy Lady Of Oakwood Court Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi
The Crazy Lady Of Oakwood Court
She, once, said she had loved singing Leonard Cohen songs
To the birds on the wire since they were the only songs
That she could sing in key
But that was long ago
Now, she stays indoors because people thought
She's very strange
She used to walk her dog around the block
With a smile that glowed in the sun
However, the dog died and she never came out again
Though, the other day I saw her outside her door
Reading a book of poems
But I couldn't recall the author or the title
A teardrop appeared out of nowhere
And she didn't looked well
She went back in her house ashamed for crying
And I felt sorry for her
So much, I wanted to comfort her with my new dog
But I guessed she was in pain of losing her own
I just let it go walking away

A beautiful character study, not only does this feel real, it also grabs at the soul. Thank you this is inspirational
Ive read this over several times, and each time it becomes painful to read again. There are so many people like this women that its entirely relatable, isolation and mental illness are the things we see but never deal with. a wonderful work.
