I decorated the window
With shooting stars.
I covered it with glitter
To make the time pass.
I wrote some song lyrics
And stuck that on too.
I looked out the window
And the whole city seemed new.
The glitter looked like the invisible stars
It distorted peoples faces
So it nearly looked like they smiled.
Now, the grimy alleyways
didn't look so big
This was the world I wanted to live in.

Hi there!
What a refreshing piece. Simple and nice.
Now, to the nitpicks:
The phrasing sounds odd here.
I'd add a semicolon here.
How? Why? Elaborate.
Other than that, I found the ending to be kinda abrupt. Perhaps you could try and connect the previous lines with the last ones?
And don't hesitate to punctuate your poem! Punctuation helps with the flow of a poem.
Overall, not bad. Just needs some improvement.
Keep writing!
I am not sure if you're connecting all your ideas properly or if they just don't flow in the poem together so it just doesn't connect? I am not too sure.
Anyways:
Good luck, keep writing.
