A teacher

Just a teacher you might think
But take a look at his smile
Reminds me of something I've never had
Warmth and love while being a child

Just a teacher
Is that so?
You want to make me sound crazy?
I don't have the effort to argue so, after all I may be.

Is hard to say what I think
While people are all looking at me
But he makes sure I am indeed
The best version of myself that I could ever be

Just a teacher
But he's so good at it
Doing more than teaching
And I think that's how it always should be

He changed the world
And he's trying to make us do the same
But it will take me a long time
And I'm afraid I'll bring only disappointment and shame
