We talk about bullying,
blame it on the kids
blame it on the parents.
But there is one party
who doesn't get
their share of the blame.
Teachers.
They can help or hurt.
Their words leave
some of the deepest scars.
"Why do you try?"
"You just not that smart, are you?"
"You just don't get it, do you?"
All these things
go un-noticed.
All these things
are overlooked.
Teachers can help or hurt.
"You are doing fine."
"You can do it."
"You are a good kid."
So lets make sure
that the message they send,
is the one that we want.
The one that helps us all.
The one that prevents bullying.
The one filled with hope.

I had a teacher two years ago
Who taught me the power of writing.
I had a teacher last year
Who taught me to laugh.
I have a teacher this year
Who teaches me to follow my stars,
My stars that I see rising.
I am lucky.
You are right beyond words.
Teachers have power.
Teachers can give you hope
Or break your deepest dreams.
Teachers can show they care
Or give you only spite.
They are a streak in your destiny.
