My Dear Teacher
My dear teacher
One day I will see you again
Passing through the aisle of a supermarket
Or in line at the movies
And you’ll ask how I’ve been
And I will tell you how I fell in love
Or how I created a cure for cancer
Or how I travelled the world
Or about my three beautiful children
And I’ll tell you how that F on my final exam
Never affected me at all
And I’ll tell you about my life
Just how far I’ve come
And how the person you made me out to be
The girl who got every question wrong
Found her way in this world
And didn’t need your help after all
