Teacher

You have taught me well
Eager to be your pupil
To acquire the knowledge you desire me to know
Carefully chosen
Censored for my innocent ears
Keeping me from the truth
But, time will proceed regardless
Not the silence in my mind
Or obstruction of my thoughts
Could ever make me believe you
Believe the tunnel vision 
That you let me see
