I tried to fit
into the system,
or maybe I just
tried to fit it to me.
I wanted to help
children grow–
and I did.
I want to continue
helping children–
and I will.
But I can not
follow the blind.
I cannot push children
into cramped boxes,
or adhere to
prescribed patterns,
blaming failure
on some defect in
the child’s brain.
Walking in the sun,
how can I be
content with a
dim candle?
