What is expected?

Change your mind

over again and again

is there anything

that I do

that you find good?

You want more?

I show you my work

and you spit on it

treat it like dirt

not one thing about it

is good?

ok?

It’s all wrong?

Do you enjoy feeling this superior?

you may be a teacher

and I’m not perfect

but I don’t want

to feel like an ant

lifting something

100 times my weight

dragging it all the way

to the mound

only to be turned around to do it again only better …

always better.

Ruining my mood

stressing me out

leaving me worthless

to the world

a shell

a ghost.

Just the gray wash

with a temper.
