Is it the blackboard where I learnt my ABCs?
The way I tripped over my own feet, scarring my knees?

Silence in the halls
A year becomes a memory
Time to move on

Students in the halls
Lockers clang open and shut.
Shouts of joy resound.

Students pore over their notes
Time for the test

Awkward, accusatory and dooming,
Lie the letters, staring, glaring.
Painfully pointing fingers, from the fatal
Hand of society, chip away the self.

A Teacher’s Heart of Gold
The first day of school is special each year as I look up and down each row.
Looking at new supplies, new shoes, new clothes, what is most important doesn’t show.
Within minutes, they show you who is the brightest star…
It’s also very evident who carries the deepest scars.

The clouds drifted across the sky as I gazed from my little bed up so high
A sense of aloneness crept over me I was just a mere sweet child of three
Children would push and taunt me so sometimes pointing and telling me go

They wait for me with bated breath,
as if I were a fairy,
Who comes down to earth to play with them,
and regale them with a story!

The vapor has disappeared
From the rich dark liquid
That still sits before me
Growing colder by the minute
As the professor drones on

Bitter to my tongue
It may be, but does
Nothing to keep me
From slipping beneath
My lids with its inviting
Darkness and warmth

Dear children,
I am the star –
No, not the enchanting, twinkling stars
In the dark night sky
Those, are for dreamers.
I am the star –
Glittering, alluring
The lamp to your future.
I am the brightest.

You’re such a loser and I’m so hopeless,
Your innate kindness leaves me careless.
I’m the one who watches your back,
Loving you is nothing I lack.
