Mydear Teacher.

I was born a genius
degraded & hindered
altered to satisfy the ego
not my own
but the teacher I should have known
the one who taught justice to me
only ten I was
purified in the age of fantasy
couldn't play with my dolls for too long
she was the calling I had
called me to grow up asap
I had a fight to fight
sacrifices to make
one being the child
the serious threat she faced
discriminated & separated
oh she was damn well threatened
one day I will see the face
you shot me deep down
but I rose from the ashes
& not going to dig you down
to a grave where it will take a decade for you to find yourself
you did it to me
threatened by a child you were
she questioned everything
the answers you never knew or wondered anew
you murdered her once
she rose from the ashes
she was crystallized & hurt
laid the foundations of an angel
made her a stubborn warrior
making her thinking that she was incapable
you know the worst thing
she believed it
so wholeheartedly that she failed
no could do
then one day someone came to her
said she knew
aware of the differences
told her she was unique & going to fly
fly away like a butterfly
the butterfly you tried to murder
my dear it's been too long since you've crossed my mind
these words are inscribed today for the moment I will look right into your eyes
telling all about you
creativity they will call it
instantaneously
you will know
something I can only hope for those who you've ruined their mind
that life taught them to be as stronger as it taught me
my dear teacher
my unjust teacher
you've made me take a rain check for the rest of my life
hear these words in your heart
I'm healed from your scars
& here for the rest of my life
creatively passionate
interrogating every aspect of my time
I remember the way you looked at me
even clearer now
& I see
why the paths of ours crossed now
you've made me who I am
inflicted and become the additional source of pain
my fortune you had to go away
I wished you'd never return
Someone else took me under their arms
believed in me
believed in my creativity
& after all those years she is the teacher I know
and I see you as the antagonist
the threshold I've blown
you enjoyed the consequences
& I have suffered
there is something I'd like to say now
To you
Thank You.
Thank you for turning that innocent girl into a champion
One day we are going to play our last round
where you'll be watching me
as I'm telling our fairytale-like story
all of them will be seeing the ashes
you will see blood
the slaughter of your own
enjoy the scenery
it must seem familiar & yet too unknown
hear my words now
it took me a while to contemplate
a decade to be precise
I've degraded like you did
ruthlessly inflicted pain
it ends here
as the time came for me to
Thank You
You've wrecked a child and a warrior was brought to life instead
you were a reason I questioned
why did we ever exist
I am now making peace with you
extracting each & every part of you
dear teacher
my dear unjust teacher
the aquarium I was isolated in
you were the one that let me out
I've learned to breathe before you sighed
desperate I was
no one knew
learned every aspect of social psychology
as you used me to experiment on
you wrote your paper with my blood
I will realise you no more.
My final words to you are
Thank you.
You couldn't kill that little girl, sparking the creative energy out of her soul
You couldn't murder her.
And know this one thing;
YOU NEVER WILL.
And I love you now; because hate; when it matured people enough, turns into one of the many ways of love. (Coelho)
My dear unjust teacher,
I love you.
Honest, cathartic, arrow-like in its aim. Pain is often the source of great power, and the bully is the weakest of them all... Superb!
