The Ocean is Calling (And Other Poems)

German Class

(Written by Sofia) 

I'm sitting in a class

At the front

Because you put me here

And you're saying things

I don't understand

Because this language

Isn't one I was taught

And I want you to stop

Talking

Please

I'm tired and tired

And I want to disappear

To sink away

But your voice fills the classroom

So I'm writing

To try and stop my

Heartbeat

Which hurts, so bad

And I want to sob

To have tears burn my

Face

But I'm sitting in a class

At the front

Because you put me here

And you're saying things

I don't understand

Because this language

Isn't one I was taught
