Teacher

I am only a teacher
the one who always teaches
the one who offers but never receive
the one who gives but no return

I wish I can be a student
learn all about all
be the one whom they take care of 
whom they teach
the one they give and offer

It hurts and deceive 
when you can't ever get the return
when you are always that person
that one who is left behind
who send and sacrifice herself
but never win a gift.

Sad write, but it reaches the reader. Hopefully there will be balance.
