Why Am I to Blame?

By:  Kisha Allgood

 

 

 

 

The year has gone on and nothing has changed.

 I give my heart to my kids am I truly to blame.

I'm a natural giver with a heart upon my sleeve,

I encourage joy and reaching for dreams, am I to blame?

It is painfully so,

testing my kids while my heart screams no.

Students voicing their academic fears,

Their precious minds, my internal tears.

Why am I to blame, it is not me at all, at all.

 I open my heart and answered this call.

Can you blame me for the heart I naturally share?

 I am a teacher, I will always care.
