To the Student Who Stold My Book

To the student who stold my book:

You think you got even with me. 

You think you hurt me.  

You think you have brought my spirit down. 

You think you know me. 

You think I don't know who you are. 

But I know exactly who you are. 

You are the student that was touched by the words the author wrote. 

You are the student that escaped reality and immersed yourself in this wonderful new world. 

You are the student that sits in the back pretending not to listen to the read aloud. 

You think you know how I feel?

I am pleased that you see the importance of books.

In order to "hurt" me, you took one of my books instead of one of the chrome books. 

I am delighted that you found comfort in one of my most special books. 

I am thrilled that instead of fighting or damaging school property you decided to open yourself to a new world. 

I am satisfied. Satisfied that I did my job well; that you find an escape in the forever words. 

I am proud. Yes, I am proud of you. 

You think I don't know who you are?

I know exactly who you are. 

You are the student who was freed.

You are a selfless student. 

You are the one that will share this wisdom with those who need it the most. 

You think you got even with me?

You think that you hurt me?  

You think you have brought my spirit down? 

You think you know me?

You think I don't know who you are?

Don't ever forget, I know exactly who you are. 

Sincerely,  

Your teacher who LOVES you very much
