It All Started With A Pentagon

Souvenir from my first teaching year

Set up strict boundaries

With a pen and a ruler

Everything should be equal

And inside your control

***

Get to know their faces

Get to know their names and their features

Team them up

By similarities and differences

***

Go back to those straight lines

And colour them

Integrate them softly

They all piece up perfectly

***

Smooth the angles

Create windows

Don’t be afraid to lose control

You will… but colours won’t be erased

***

Get to know their sides

Their backgrounds and their personal stories

Let them know you

Let them be part of this story of yours

***

Acknowledge their fears and their challenges

And put them aside

Play with them

Let them enjoy shapes and colours

***

Later. Later. You can work on straight lines and angles

    That was so beautiful. I think it's a message more people need to hear.
