Today I felt like a number.
It was not a glorious experience.
Terrible scores.
Pictures of a past mentor or even two
“you certainly talk a good game.”
I am not a number.
I play an incomparable and unforgettable game.
Writing is my thing.
If “terrible” scores scare people,
They don’t see me.
I have unlimited potential.
I have possibilities unimagined.
I am the teacher they talk about.
I grow hearts.
I grow people.
I am not a number.
If you think so, we were never really acquainted,
Because if you believe in tallying a human condition,
I didn’t know you either.
Trust is a choice.
I am not a number, I am a being.
My students saw my being today.
