shit you can actually say to teachers

Location

When your eyes glaze over with disgust

And your face goes blank as if you are clueless

in not knowing your students

When you go through motions

Like your shit don't stink

When you treat us like numbers rather than young people

 a face in the crowd

You think that won't bring us down?

When we're fighting the world

in a place the nobody cares

what preparation you got us reeady for when we face the world

how to die before our time and

or how to fail

When everyone around us is welding a knife

And we walk into class just to be shot down

You think that doesn't affect us?

You're a person, no better, no worse,

Just the same

Who has some knowledge based on college degrees

but don't have any common sense

So don't come here to judge, like your thoughts are above

Rather;

Give us the respect we deserve

if you want that respect in return
