The screen glows bright from the corner tonight
Not a person within reach
My family's in isolation
So it looks like I'm the Teach
My childs howling like this demon from inside
I keep Googling, goodness knows we've cried

Don't let them win, the kids can't see
I feel smart but, this math is new to me
This can't be real, don't let it show
That I don't know

I don't know, I don't know
Can't do this math anymore
I don't know, I don't know
They wrecked fifteen times four
I don't care what your teachers say
This method seems wrong
The kids learned to carry the one anyway

I feel like social distance makes everyday just crawl
And the tears I can’t control them straight through my work phone calls
The tablet froze, the printer's new
The teacher wants them all to Zoom
Now write a poem, it's due by three
We'll see

I don't know, I don't know
I have fought to get art supplies
I don't know, I don't know
I made your friends mom cry
Here’s some pens go write an essay
I think this page is wrong

My daughter fell from the chair onto the ground
My son's learning proper fractions in surround sound
And one thought culminates in twenty things to ask
When are they going back, I just want them to pass

I don't know, I don't know
Please don't rise at the crack of dawn
I don't know, I don't know
My Pinterest home is gone
That's your fifth snack of the day
This assignments long
The kids learned to carry the one anyway
