I am not personified hope and positivity
Don't look to me for that
Don't count on me for a smile or a joke
I can't give you what you need.
I have no perspective
I'm casting aside the costume
that came with the role of being radiant light
Don't look to me for the answer of how to always be happy
Because I don't think that exists
See when I tried to become a certified teacher
I realized I had been teaching my whole life.
It's exhausting. I have no answers I just know
This is my life, I get one. I'm not totally accepting of my flaws
I just know I can't walk around feeling like a giant flaw
