The Conflicted Student
Oh how I wish my favorite teacher,
Wasn't the one standing at the front.
But the thought of her not being my mentor,
Leaves me with a feeling of loss and affront.
Her words have comforted me before,
Guided me through my trials and strife.
But lately she's been such a bore,
Causing stress in my daily life.
I know she means well with her advice,
But sometimes it's just too much to bear.
When she tells me to simply "think twice",
As if it's so easy to not despair.
If only she could understand,
The complexities of mental health.
And stop saying things so bland,
Like "just do something to make yourself happy".
I hate to admit it, but she's right,
I shouldn't let my depression win.
But it's not as simple as daylight,
To just shut it out and let happiness in.
So I'm left feeling conflicted and torn,
Between my admiration and my strain.
Hoping one day she'll stop being so forlorn,
And truly see the pain in my brain.
