One Window

By E.B. Keane-Farrell

One window is all I need,

A window of opportunity,

A chance not to bleed.

To be able to let my emotions loose,

To prove myself,

To let them see.

Unfeeling and unwelcome,

Unknown and unsafe.

To let the world know

That I’m not ungrateful,

I’m not untruthful,

But all I want to do

Is to love and be loved in return.

One window is all I need

To let everybody see

And to shout out,

“I am me

And that’s all I’ll ever be.”
