Our Sensei
Made us sit in silence
Listening for any noises we never heard before

I heard voices from the other rooms
Doors slamming
People coughing

I heard something new
My heart
It's crying

My soul
Is broken
It's dying

Tears
Are falling
I'm crying

"So,
What did you hear?"
My Sensei asks

I heard my body
Telling me
To run

That it's enough
That they're waiting for me
They're getting impatient

Don't worry
I'll join you soon
Please wait just a bit longer...
