Teacher, teacher please 
See beyond my pale blue eyes 
Teacher, teacher please
I'm begging on my knees
My smile is an evil trick 
It curves upward at 
different angles 
to hide the shame 
to hide the embarrassment 
Teacher, teacher please
Can't you see past my lies
I can't see past my worthlessness
Why do you pretend to accept me 
as if I have meaning and purpose
My dreams kill me inside
I am a prisoner 
I am an object 
Mister,
I have no use
Misses,
I have no function
Teacher, teacher please
Don't fill my head with lies 
I'm slowly dying inside 
Don't call my name 
and expect an answer 
Don't stare down at me 
and claim to see potential 
There is no prize
Hidden and untapped
There is nothing to find 
There is nothing inside
