Teaching You

By-Amanda D. Petty

I’ll teach you.

I’m your tutor.

You’ll be in school.

“On what subject?”

Your life.

“I don’t need a teacher.

I know my life.”

You’re saying.

I’m going to ask you

A few questions.

Are you considerate?

Are you patient?

Are you tolerant to real pain?

Are you optimistic about life?

Can you love someone who is different?

Look into my eyes,

And

Tell me the true answers.

If you’re thinking,

“Real pain?”

Oh honey, I know real pain.

Do you want the list?

Yes?

I’ve been in surgeries for half of my life.

I’ve got my heart broken once or twice.

I drowned at twenty-two months.

I have Cerebral Palsy.

I live in a power wheelchair.

Feel sorry?

I hope not.

I’m your teacher,

Teaching you about real life

And how blessed you really are.

Tutoring you how to love

Someone different.
