It Feels Like a Dream

It feels just like it never occurred, 
It feels like I just wasn’t there,
It feels just like it was all a big dream, 
Melting like a puff in the air,

The fun and the buzz, the philosophical moment, 
The act of understanding it now,
Living life in excite of growing their mind, 
Each second and minute and hour,

Dancing with time and building on high, 
Eagerly I filled up their souls,
But then I was stopped by a fabricated voice, 
Placed on some sort of parole,

My name was stolen from the place where I worked, 
My heart had to farewell it good bye,
So now all I do is remember my life, 
My life before the great lie.

This is so sad Lewis. Unjustly accused. Something along the same theme happened to my son. It's just frustrating and sad to not be believed.

I don't really know you, Lewis, but I do know that your empathy makes you a wonderful teacher.
