Dear Teachers,
Dear Math Teacher,
I know that 2+2=4
So instead of reviewing this 2nd grade lesson
Teach me how to have at least a decent credit score
Dear History Teacher,
I admire you because the past ALWAYS seems to come back
and..well... the last time I looked in the mirror
My skin tone was a form of brown known as black
Dear Science Teacher,
At times I understand you, Other times I don't
you say my mind controls my body
My heart says It wont
Dear English teacher,
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH !
you taught me not to give a f*ck
about those around me
That try to belittle me because they have yet to realize that to belittle someone
Is to Be Little
you taught me that not all fairytales end with a happily ever after
you taught me that in my world I matter
Dear teachers ,
teach me things ,prepare me for life
you have yet to teach me what to do when Im on my last coin
when I barely have a pen to write a poem
what to do when my best friend was shot
on my block
with a 40 caliber glock..
that was in my hand
don't just listen : just understand
Life is more than 2x-y=b
more than the Underground railroad in History
I have air with no gravity
Dear Teachers,Im just askin-begging you to prepare me
For life beyond these white walls...
