The Person Standing in front of You

The person standing in front of you

Has gone through ups and downs

Before she was able to stand there

Years of learning, countless times of crying, sleepless nights..

Those were all the basic ingredients

Going through failure, being told that she's not good,

Those too were the spices

The person standing in front of you

Has high hopes in each and every one of you

She sees potential in her students

She only wants a bright future for them

And there she stands

Trying to guide you to the top

Holding your hand so you wouldn't fall

Helping you to go through the tide

The person standing in front of you

Greets you with a smile every day

Even though she's hurting,

Even though she's crying inside

She stands before you

To share the knowledge that she has

She hides her disappointment

She stops her tears from falling

She speaks as if nothing happened

The person standing in front of you

Has a heart

Her silence meant more than you'll ever know

She feels but pretends to be fine

Because she knows..

Nothing changes even if they knew

The person standing in front of you

Have you ever thought about her feelings?

Maybe your world doesn't change

Even if she disappears from your life

But you meant the world to her

You are all her reason to get up every day

She prays for you silently

And always hope that you would be better

The person standing in front of you

Won't be there forever

Someday you will wake up

And no longer hear her nagging

Before that days comes, 

Don't have regrets in your heart

For the words you didn't say,

For the memories you didn't create

For the mistakes you didn't change
