My hand
Shooting up into the air
My idea
Brilliant
My voice
Ready to be heard
Ready to
Speak
Ready to
Wow
Everyone with my
Genius
My teacher’s eyes
Scanning the classroom
Calling out names
Asking people for their
Answers
All of them saying
Basically
The same thing
My idea
So drastically
New
Fresh
Brilliant
My teacher’s eyes
Scanning the classroom
“Anyone else?”
Her eyes seemingly
Oblivious
To my
Plea
To my words
To my need to be heard
“No one?”
“Ok, let’s move on.”
