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Read from that outdated textbook.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.
