I want to teach.
I want the world to learn
from my mistakes and my experiences.

I want to teach.
I want the world to learn
how to smile when a frown is ever present.

I want to teach.
I want the world to learn
that there is beauty in everyone and everything, even when the others say different.

I want to teach.
I want the world to learn
that love and happiness mend wounds caused by hatred and sadness and overall depression.

I want to teach.
I want the world to learn
that whilst time may be limited, lessons are infinite.

I want to teach.
I want the world to learn.
