Window Sill

I have a window without a window sill 
My eyes wander outside when the crickets sing
Birds refuse to come into this part of town  
I try to escape but my window has grills
Those who live nearby cannot, will not know me 
Residing in a one story tower, still
And when it rains, droplets flicker towards life  
Far away from the window without a sill
Happiness, very absent in this town wing
Into this part of town, birds refuse to come
Maybe they would if I had a window sill
