Valedictorian

I know more about lessons

than I do about love.

I could be a professor

at Heartbreak University

with a double major

in Red Flags and Toxic Behaviors

minor in Self Care

and Healthy Boundaries.

No matter the degree

of separation

between my words and actions

still I find myself applying for

yet another semester.

There is something in the summer air

that leaves me feeling ambitious

to pick up a new course

curriculum in your private study.

Give me some credit

I know I can be a bit extra,

but I've heard I make a great homework buddy

even with my history of making homes

out of pieces of work.

I've graduated top of my class

and I'm not looking for another project.

You could say I'm in the market

for a reliable a lab partner

well-versed in chemistry

and safety precautions,

unafraid to stray from the syllabus

for the purpose of

Higher learning.

Interning

with Intuition and Observation

has given me

the kind of work experience

that looks damn good on a resume.

So don't play

yourself into thinking

you can Spark Notes your way

through this.

I am more than text and analysis.

A mixture of scripture and scrolls,

philosophies untold,

Socratic method to my madness.

I remain a student of Spirit;

A teacher of Soul.
