Counting Down

I remember

Being so young of age I could count

My years on one of my hands

My teacher was gone for the day

So we joined our classmates next door

My teacher was gone

My safety net for a day

I counted the minutes tick by

I ran out of fingers

And then

I ran

Out of hands.

Oh, that sounds like terrible moments to survive. I am sorry you had to go through this. My daughter was bullied too heavily…
