“Terror in the Classroom”

Fear grips my heart, a constant ache

As I face the learner, my tormentor’s sake

Once a student, now a source of pain

Accusing eyes, a heart that’s vain

Their words, a dagger, pierce my soul

A lie, a weapon, used to control

My reputation tarnished, my name maligned

A victim of falsehoods, my heart and mind entwined

The classroom, once a sanctuary

Now a battleground, a war zone’s cruelty

I’m forced to defend, my honor at stake

As the learner’s abuse makes my heart quake

Their smile, a snarl, a predator’s gleam

As they manipulate, a twisted scheme

I’m trapped, a prisoner of their whim

A teacher, abused, and falsely brimmed

Oh, the agony, the helplessness I feel

As the learner’s cruelty makes my heart reveal

A pain so intense, it threatens to consume

A fear so real, it haunts me, a constant gloom
