Questions for the Teacher

Teacher, could I ask you for some advice?

What should I do for the rest of my life?

The works of Whitman and Dickinson

Lack a definite answer to my question.

Will you say “only you can find the answer”?

Or “you’ll find out when you’re older”?

Teacher, is there a formula to calculate the percentage of success?

Will my SAT score guarantee happiness?

Is it selfish to want to only relive memories?

To want to live a life free of worries?

Will you say “only you can find the answer”?

Or “you’ll find out when you’re older”?

Teacher, could you tell me what your dreams were?

Were they tangible or forgotten as you grew older?

What does growing up actually mean?

Will you tell me “only you can answer that” or something?

Teacher, is it okay to live like this?

Uncertain, confused, a future amiss?

“You won’t find the answer in your textbook”

Then please tell me where to look.

“There is no right place so keep moving forward”
