The Teacher I go to work I go to school I am a teacher The student That's always smiling Has a secret I can tell If you look Into her eyes You can see despair One day Her sleeve rolled up For her to quickly pull it down again I saw her arm I know what she does I fell bad But how can I? She's not alone I have a secret to

The Student I wake up I don't want to wake up I want to sleep forever I put on my makeup To hide the Deep purple spots Under my eyes I get an hour of sleep Every night I have nightmares I go to school And put on a smile I don't show them My arms A teacher Looks in to my eyes Does she care? Does she know? I can only smile

They Hate You To But You Can Take It I ask you how I ask you why I ask you what no one asks I ask you how to cope You endure pain everyday The things all the school kids say Would bring me to my knees They only care about being cool They tease you Even though they've Never talked to you I always wondered How you coped Your my best friend My only friend My real friend

You You I'll live for you You I'll smile for you You I'll lie for you You Eventually I'll tell the truth You You can help Because You You understand You You are stronger But You still understand

Am I A Bother Everything's different I'm not sure how I'm not sure why But it's all different A question escapes from my mouth "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say anything. It was an act of impalse" The old woman across from me looks deep in to my eyes "darling, why must you always apologize so?" She surprised me with that "well, most people tell me to keep my mouth shut. That I'm not worth their time" Her face takes to an unsettled look "well you are no burden to me. I enjoy having you around, don't listen to them they don't know a thing" Wow. She... Things I can't explain For once in my #life I feel whole again (I don't know why I wrote this. It's not one of my best. )
