‘Teacher Shortage’ is a misnomer
We’re burned out and giving up
When admin doesn’t back us
Because parents scare them
And the county only worries
About going viral and lawsuits
Meanwhile, the kids don’t believe
That natural consequences exist
Why should they, when leaders
Get away with murder, live on TV

Sit in bed
look at rings
Wonder if you
did go too fast
Or not enough
when we only
have so much
time in the end
3.28.19 - Bilateral Reconstruction
Tht’s a good name for something sci-fi.
That could be the meds.
Also.
That. Really. Hurt.
That really hurt.
It was worse than the doctor thought. Not just the patella but the ligaments to either side.
I’ll get a phone call tomorrow about the results and recovery.
For now, I’m glad it’s done.
I want to recover.
But I’m scared of how long it could potentially take.
But I want to recover. I want this to be the low point. It gets better from here.
I get better, from here.
““Wants”
I want to write
a story I can be proud of.
I want to write a story that
deserves to be heard.
I want to be
successful.
I want to scream into the void,
and hear a scream back,
for once.
I want you to reach out.
I know you’re out there.
I miss you.”
“I want to find out if I can finish what I start.”
