If I’ve been not in school
Surely I missed a lot
Not only the brain tool

I’ll point to the people
Whose influence could make
Life more valuable

Were they my teachers?
And/or my classmates
Or other superiors?

They could be among them
Those whose passion, talents
Skills, likes – with me the same

They were also the ones
Whose dreams and ambitions
Could be also my wants

Was afraid to reveal
What are truest in me
Harder still to conceal.
