Pathetic

Pathetic:

Miss Honey:

Don’t be foolish Kid!

Don’t be pathetic Kid!

Don’t you run away,

‘Cause this is your time!

Don’t be stupid, Jenny!

Don’t be pathetic, Jenny!

Don’t be anything ‘cause this is your life!

Stand at attention,

Straighten the spine,

You are her teacher, so teach her at school

She’s not your problem,

She’s not in your life,

So pretend to move on and don’t be a fool

Don’t be pathetic, Jenny!

Don’t be foolish, Jenny!

Don’t be anything ‘cause this is your life!

She doesn’t need you, Jenny,

Stop wasting time,

On loving a child who could never love you

But this little girl…

Is someone special…

A miracle…

It’s so sad that she doesn’t know

Could I call myself a teacher,

If she…

Fell through the cracks I can see?

This little girl needs

To be showered with love,

But it won’t come from me…

I can’t meet her needs,

She has found me…

Pathetic… Little me…

I step back as the door closes,

And to you I say, “goodbye.”
