You experienced what it was like once,

The bullying, The pep-rallys, The body heat from passing

students in a tiny hall.

You experienced what it was like once,

The heartbreaks, The drama. The undying want for attention

to fit in.

You experienced it what it was like once,

The name calling, The stress, The longest eight hours of your life,

The want for summer, And the need to procrastinate.

You experienced what it was like once,

Wanting to run across the graduation stage, Grabbing your diploma,

Going to college and finally being out.

All teachers have experienced it once.
