Facing the Window
I am glad
that my seat
in the classroom
faces the window
so that I can see
the rain outside
crying
the tears I cannot
I am glad
that my seat
in the classroom
faces the window
so that I can see
the clouds outside
expressing the anger
that I cannot
I am glad
that my seat
in the classroom
faces the window
so that I can see
the plants outside
quivering with the nervousness
that I cannot
I am glad
that my seat
in the classroom
faces the window
so that I can see
the wind outside
roaring it’s opinions
that I cannot
I am glad
that my seat
in the classroom
faces the window
so that I can see
the birds outside
speaking the words
that I cannot
I am glad
that my seat
in the classroom
faces the window
but I’m not sure
how much longer
I can
hold back the tears
resist the anger
calm the nervousness
stifle my opinions
mute the words
Someday
I hope
I have the courage
the strength
to let them all
come rushing out
