insecurity today
so many decisions to make
don't feel like making none of them
so many errands to run
don't feel like progress today
i tell the kids all the time
"listen class... most often, the fear that keeps us ineffective is not the fear of failure, but the fear of success. but don't worry, you can always better your best."
a lifetime of my words were lost
with the simple misplacement of a couple notebooks
had to start over
not sure if what i've done in the past two years constitutes "bookworthyness"
but it's hard to make excuses
with this foot in my mouth
people are expecting
cause i knew that
those expectations would keep me going
so thank you
to all of those who push me
to make my word bond
to all my students
who leave me love notes
and hug me real
when they see me
to my little ones
for expecting greatness
for their sacrifice
to my special one
for calling at lunch time
to make sure i'm still kinetic
to you all
for calling me on my bullshit
and forgetfullness
they don't know
that pulling them
is pushing me
giving me momentum
cause if i can do it...
