121

Quietly she waits for the other pin to drop
Hidden in the hallway, there’s no way to make it stop 
The shouting, the yelling, the throwing of hands 
She listens and listens, but she can’t understand 
Why can’t love be the answer 
Or humor, or glee
Why must there be anger
And violence, and greed 
She’s stuck, she’s a child
There hiding again
Seeking a solution to a problem 
She doesn’t understand
