Talk to the Door

I was already starting to

Have a mental breakdown.

I worked up my courage anyway

For 2 hours.

Just to ask about the

Reliable sites you'd recommend

Because my search

Isn't going well.

And if that went well,

Maybe ask if I could

Borrow your charger

So I could work on it

And not worry about

Crying anymore.

But instead I talked

Through a door.

And when it opened,

I got an answer I

Already knew

Then a door in my face.

I understand you

Need to work and

Want to get home.

So do I.

But I might have questions

And I'm under a lot of

Pressure.

If you were willing,

I would've liked to work

In your classroom.

I would work in

Silence like I do best.

The only noise you'd hear

Would be from the keyboard

And the clicks for my cursor--

Nothing more than you.

I'd sit in silence like I do best

And contemplate how I can

Word this presentation

So you'd be impressed.
