Over the last two months, a dozen students from three continents have been meeting to write and reflect as part of the Writers Matter program. The following piece is part of the “I Wonder” collection, and comes from Endina in Kosovo.
I wonder
I wonder, when you look into my eyes,
do you see the pain or does it fade away, like a moth to the flame?
Really, tell me, do you feel the same?
It’ s a hard thing to say but I can’t help but think.
But no, you won’t tell me. Is that right? Why? I can’t figure it out.
Whether you love it or hate it, you should have stayed. That’s what I wonder when the storm comes rushing in.
You know I wonder what would happen if I quit because the game it’s starting to lose it’s grip.
And yet, I still find myself drawn to it, waiting for my dreams, though I know they don’t fit.
