Unseen Tears


Leave it at home

They tell me

Leave it at home

For the problems of this morning

Conflict with progress of the day

And learning is not done

When my mind is far away

Worries of the future

And problems from the past

Must be locked away inside myself

Hidden by this mask

The pain inside must never ever show

For the truth is what they tell me at this learning place

I go


As an educator and as one of these kids myself, I want to remind people to listen to them even and especially when they are silent.
