staying away from the teacher now

She is confused, a teacher says
Why? Because her hair is dyed three colors?
She wears goth clothes and her make up is dark
Have you spoken to her? I ask
The woman gives me a concrete stare

I decide to watch this child of whom the woman has referred.
The child exudes confidence, she stands up for a friend.
She asks a bully to stop harassing them, she is empowered.
There is nothing confusing about her.

She is a woman who knows herself.
Clarity surrounds her in a pink aura.
I know who is confused, so I stay away from her.
Not wanting to hear her opinion on any more students.
