I Can Hear You

I can hear you 
Do you?
I am sitting here 
In this chair 
Trying my best
Or at least I was 
Are you? 
You ask me questions 
That I do not know 
But still you don't wait for me to answer 
You talk to fast 
And you don't even check to see if I'm ready 
You tell me to take notes 
But still I don't 
When I'm quiet I am good 
But when I'm noisy I am bad 
You always tell me what to do 
Write this or write that 
It doesn't matter 
You have already decided that I can't hear you 
You have decided that I can't understand 
But I can 
I can hear you 
I can understand 
Maybe I can't understand every concept 
But I do understand your tone 
I understand that your weekend 
is more important then me 
I understand your data sheet 
Is more valuable then me 
I can hear you 
When you talk about your child, your weekend camping trip 
Or how you say some of us just arnt getting it 
I can hear you 
I know that student is me 
I know and 
I can hear you

Me

it took me years 
to face my fears
to realize that its okay
to be me

it took you a second 
for you to say the words of blame 
now all I hear 
is the ringing in my ears 
telling me it's wrong and not okay 



I'm starting to cry
and ask myself why 
is it so wrong for me to be me?

War

Everyday just feels like a war. And I walk around so mad at the world. But I'm really just fighting with myself. I don't wanna fight anymore. I'm just to tired. I have to just be me. I've still got a lot of fight left in me.
