But No One Listened

7 1 0
                                        

As I sat in a corner

Down an empty hall

I wiped my tears as they fell,

Panicked that someone would see me crying

Yet so hopeful.

I stood up from my seat and rushed to the bathroom,

Locked the door,

Put down the lid,

And cried.

Ashamed.

Embarrassed.

And Worried.

Worried that someone would notice that I was cutting class

And that I wasn't there

Yet still I hoped to get in trouble.

It was a barely-lit room.

The door, a ghost dancing from afar,

As my vision blurred,

I wiggled around

Trying to untie myself

Trying to reach

For my ghost

And still I was SCARED that someone would see me like this,

But This Time,

I Was More than than just Hopeful.
