Closed Classroom Doors

Poem about feeling trapped in school. Contest Entry.

Closed Classroom Doors

My heart tugs past the window pane,
where I look out at England's rain.
Yet here I am 'til half past four,
caged in behind a classroom door.

A blowing breeze makes tall trees sway.
I whisper, "Please, take me away,"
but my cries the wild wind ignores,
for I'm behind closed classroom doors.

Classmates chatter, teachers swoon,
while I wait for the afternoon.
But I see clouds, as grey as sores.
Between are glass and classroom doors.

The bell rings, yet the day won't end-
there's other classes to attend.
Only as the day winds down once more,
I'm free, beyond this classroom door.
