These Words I Can't Say

Location

I trust you, teacher

I really do

But the words stick in

my throat

 

I want to tell you, teacher,

I really do.

But I don't know how

to say the words

 

How to tell you

that all is not well

with your “perfect” student

over here.

 

How I can no

longer focus,

How I want desperately

to fall asleep in class

 

I trust you, teacher,

I really do

I want to tell you, teacher,

I really do.

 

I just don't,

know

how.
