Teacher

I am a teacher 
I wonder if I will ever survive this school year 
I hear students swearing and yelling 
I see students dressed inappropriate 
I want to go home 
I am a teacher 
I pretend to ignore the kids 
I feel very stern
I worry if these students will pass the MCAS 
I cry when they tell me that they can't do it
I am a teacher 
I say to my students, try your best and work hard
I dream to leave this school soon 
I hope for them to be successful in life 
I am a teacher
