Teach me
Let me talk like the arrogant
Let me blow my own trumpet
Expound my self-worth
But prick me
Gently please
Cos I do hurt easy
Then teach me
Reach me with your wisdom
Touch my soul
Leave your mark
And change me
Teach me
I love to learn
The thrill of new knowledge
The beauty of nature
The exquisite exactness of science
The delirious complexities of people
The exploring of self is a bonus
Teach me
And feelings like I’ve never known
Toe to toe and head to bone
These monstrous passions you’ve stirred in me
I’ve forgotten what I was saying
Remind me?
Oh yeah,
Teach me!
