LITERATURE : THE TEACHER BY CATHERINE LIM

Teacher marking composition
Getting fed up in a student
of writing composition about family
which are unrelated to the topic
A lot of wrong tenses are made
despite teacher teaches her until she almost went mad
told her repeatedly like a recorder replaying
The more the teacher mark
the student get less mark


The student is as timid as mouse
Shyness causes her fear
To speak up to other about her problem
She cannot cope with her pressure
in the end her last resort
is to commit suicide

The teacher is shocked when news reached to her
a timid girl would not do such foolish thing
Life's journey is a bicycle ride down the hill
once you throw it away
it will never come back
Reality is an enemy and you have to accept the fact
Then the teacher know that
she uses writing to express herself
but it is all too late
