Room of Glass

Smudged windows
The prints of fingers and a nose
A girl looking through
The room of glass

Perfection mounted on the mantel
A place for every object
Order, cleanliness, and obedience in
The room of glass

Soundproof walls
Absorb the frustrated cries
Of a rebellious teen torn by
The room of glass

Hot angry tears wash
The telltale prints of defiance
The girl remains lost in
The room of glass

The doors slam with a bang
She looks around to find
The hairline crack in the walls of
The room of glass

Another slam shatters
The restless tranquility of
The room of glass
