‘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

We all change, time sees to that
We lose parts along the way
In war those we love the most
Don’t always come home again.

Doubt lingers like dead weight
Heavy, cracking the ribs
Shaking an taped together heart
Will you be there
Will you be real
Will you tell me
It’s okay to feel
If you’re here now then be here
Get rid of all the noise
You promised it’d be just us
You promised a lot
I’m afraid to ask
How many you broke
Along the way
Is it better to know
Or not know
I’ve never been good
At sticking my head
In the sand
So many questions I don’t want to ask
