My Teacher Said, Experience

My Teacher Said, Experience

My teacher said, Experience

Is only what happens to you

(As nobody make better sense

Of it after being gone through)

For we are not just victims of

The circumstances that occur

When we decide to rise above

What happens to us as it were

To be considered like some test,

Since after all, it’s happened to

Nobody else, that would suggest

That we take it the way we do.
