Hunchback

The bells toll, I swing back and forth.

I step on the head of a stone,

and look below.

Life down there could be different.

People cheering, clapping, what am I missing?

The birds scatter by my bedside.

The thing called beauty I am not,

Today beauty revealed to me.

Esmerelda. Her name.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Hunchback finds love. I put myself in his shoes.
