TEACHERS

Sun, 11/03/2013 - 02:19 -- iamme

you are my elder so i respect you,

but then again shouldn't i give respect when i feel respect is do?

I'm sorry i forgot your my teacher so i just do what you tell me to.

NO, that's not how it goes i am not your child 

so i don't jump when you say so,

i don't speak the way you want me to.

Oh,so you're my mom now?

No, i thought so, you know, since you're trying to take my phone

You don't pay my phone bill so why should i give you my phone?

Don't you dare talk down to me like I'm suppose to already know the brand new material; 

you just started teaching today.

if i ask to go to the bathroom I'm just being polite, 

because i was told if i need to go gather my things and walk out your classroom door.

that's what i was told by my mother father aunties and uncles

so that's what I'll do 

don't you dare talk to me like I'm less than a person 

you were in this seat once two

you were naive just as i.
