not all who wonder must be lost
Location
teach me something I can use
give me something to keep me whole
teach me that I'm not broken
for feeling things that've been felt by thousands before me
and around me
teach me about my body and the bodies of others
so that the both of us can be safe
teach me to love myself
no matter who tells me not to
teach me how to see where and when and why people are hurt
for the benefit of others
teach me to fight it
teach me the world and all its ways
so i can learn how to change it
Help me learn these and know them well enough to teach them
So not all who wonder are lost

I really enjoyed reading your poem because of how sincere your tone is throughout each line. These are real thoughts that many students have. I particularly like the idea that "not all who wonder are lost" for it's simple truth. You've said SO much in that one line; it forces the reader into contemplation. Great poem.
