She watches from the window

It's hot everyone's out

The circle full of her so called friends

They run and play

Screaming while hitting each other with blasts of water

Leave the window she tells herself

It'll only make you sadder

Stay stay

Watch them

Evaluate their movements

Hours tic by

They have gone inside

I want to watch them more

But their gone

She didn't let me go

She said I wasn't good enough to go

Try more and you can go play

Okay I said

Hopeful

Longing to go outside instead of being locked in

Trapped in the 30 square foot room

My mind replayed the kids playing

I picked what I would of done as them

Running and playing in my dreams

Longing to be like them

"Everyone is treated like this, no one talks about it that's all"

"Don't tell anyone. You were sick today"

"Ok mom"

The next day came

Pleas let me go

No

Tears well up. Don't show it

This is normal I told myself

I never got to play with them

When I finally could they didn't play anymore

They had grown up they said

Lost in the past

Childhood longing trapped forever
