Poem titled: The unseen pain of the teacher
A teacher's heart, a heavy load
unseen pain behind a worn-out coat
Smiles and lessons, a daily grind
Concealing wounds, left behind
Their hands hold pens, their hearts hold tears
A silent struggle through all the years
They shape the minds of tomorrow's best
While fighting battles in their unrest
In crowded staff rooms, they feel alone
With expectations high and resource gone
Their passion fades like chalk on a board
As they pour their hearts into each lesson explored
Their own dreams whispered in empty night
As they strive to ignite love for what is right
their unseen pain, a heavy toll
A teacher's heart, a story to unfold
Poet: Timothy K Sellu ( The Enlightened one)
