Ode to Teachers

Location

Oh teachers you don’t seem to get,

That we have our lives to set

 

We don’t have time for your busy work,

This is only making us overwork

 

You say we have time for everything,

This is all incredibly stressing

 

Too many scholarship applications,

Can’t you see we’re only humans?

 

We have our personal issues,

Just like you might too

 

But there you go giving us more to do

I’m starting to feel like the color blue

 

We lost our friends and family,

And I think I’m slowly loosing me

 

I know it’s not completely your fault,

You’re just trying to help us exalt

 

All of this for that dream,

To be put in a university

 

So, teachers I hesitantly give a thank you,

But keep in mind the remaining efforts are few.
