I watch words float

Above people heads

Their thought broadcasted

Where only I can see them


The words layed out 

across her head

Her thought bare 

For me to see


A mind 

I dared not to decipher

No matter how much I tried

It locked me out


My middle school brain

My good grades

Fallen because of a person

Who locked me out


It is open to me now

Her brain

Her thoughts

The emotions


I open the door 

To the safe

Her defenses fall 

a small sigh 


Her room is empty

The door shut

A pill bottle lays at her feet

A note on her dresser


I turn to my students

“That is how you take a life

Clean up this body

Don't be late for the next class”
