I have a brilliant teacher who is my surrogate mum. She's the first and only teacher who has managed to make me cry out of joy. Before I met her, I never knew what unconditional love was...

You Told Me

Published by Family Friend Poems July 2012 with permission of the Author.

You told me to listen to my heart
But it wasn't speaking

You told me to wait
But soon I got impatient

You told me to feel
But I didn't know how to feel beyond my body

You told me to see through it
But it wasn't made of glass

You told me read between the lines
But there was nothing there

You told me to be careful
Does it mean I was too careless?

You told me I was blind
But still I could see

You told me we don't have time to spare
But who were we giving our time to?

You told me stop being so closed
But I wasn't a door

You told me "don't cry"
Was I suppose to force myself to be happy?

You told me to forgive and forget
But it's not easy

You told me to love
But what is that?
You don't know what it is until you find it
Where is it?
Nobody knows

You told me a lot of things
And I didn't really know what they meant
But I've grown now
You're gone and I wish you would tell me some more
