Teacher of Mine
Location
Teacher of mine,
I wish you would do more than just
Read from that outdated textbook.
Teacher of mine,
We’re an honors class.
Treat us like one.
Teacher of mine,
I don’t care about your two year old son.
I care about my education,
Which you’re not doing a very good job
Of providing.
Teacher of mine,
Stop playing with your hair
And rolling your eyes
When I ask to actually learn something.
Teacher of mine,
Don’t you dare watch that straight couple kiss
And then give us detention
For holding hands.
Teacher of mine,
I wish you knew
When I act out in class
It’s because my soulmate
Was cheating on me with my best friend.
Teacher of mine,
Just because we’re sitting
And you’re standing
Doesn’t mean we’re not equals.
Teacher of mine,
Inspire us.
