Teacher

6AM rise and shine

7AM hour long car ride

8AM the bell screams

         learn

3PM stop

         go home

         stay

                                  until the teachers leave

4PM try to remember the class today

5PM try to make them proud

         show you care by trying

my heart bleeding out over a text book would never be enough

becoming calculus Jesus would not be enough

a chosen life of servitude to a family that leaves

every year
