Dead End by yanna

It is not normal to walk in

And think you going to like someone right?

Especially a teacher in this case

You were out to get me I knew

You were

You were my advisor

So you were always on me

But I also kept my eyes on you like a hawk

I patiently waiting low in the grass

Like a lion waiting to pounce

On his prey

Waiting for you to slip up and I’ll catch you at the moment

But then I realize I was just a cub

Not having the knowledge to attack my prey

Then you came along high and mighty

Helping this little cub

Develop in a lioness

You developed her knowledge and made her a little wiser

Everyday

It wasn’t just a normal

Straight Outta Composition class

It was a survival class

We learn to attack life at a different angle

When you left the lion pride lost a

Great soldier that

Had to guide

A new pack of cubs that have a future in front of them

You will be missed Mr. Leighton from your student Tatayanna Campbell
