It happened today

I saw myself

About to lose my job

To be accused of abusing,

Mistreating,

Picking on a child

By making sure that

He stayed on track

For asking him to stop talking

To take notes and

To pay attention

For asking him to move

Closer to the front

To stay on him

To make sure that

He stayed on track

I was accused of abuse

I was accused of mistreatment

I was only caring
