    They tell us not to break

    Label our minds too fragile

    Even when we are awake

    We try to hide

    Behind the windows which have been shattered to

    pieces

    Under the tables collected with dust

    Just for peace of mind

    The willow grows

    But it traps tighter

    As we let in the sunlight

    But we let them crawl in our veins

    We let them run through our system

    Thank you for submitting this very intense poem for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month.  I very much liked your image of trying to hide behind shattered windows.  Well done.  – Susan
