Title: Carried It Alone
I walked in, chaos everywhere,
Noise and shouting filled the air.
Told to step up, take control, they dipped while I paid the toll.
Kids on edge, I stayed the course,
Guiding through chaos with steady force.
Halloween came, observation day,
Chaos rising, the kids in dismay.
Others yelling, wouldn’t settle down,
We failed the check, chaos ruled the town.
I did my part, held the class tight,
Yet they pointed fingers, said it wasn’t right.
They asked for feedback, wanted to hear,
I spoke it real, loud and clear.
Said “no support, I’m on my own,
Still held it down, stayed strong, made it known.”
Planning gone, they said take it home, I drew the line, wouldn’t condone.
I voiced my thoughts, no help in sight,
Teamwork missing, yet I did it right.
Kept the calm, peace of mind.
I carried it alone, held the line,
Made the chaos safe, one kid at a time.
They spun their stories, I did my part,
Strength and calm came straight from the heart.
When I was there, it held together,
Through tantrums, storms, and weather.
Still a mess, but we had control,
Structure, safety — that was the goal.
I coached the calm, I led with care,
Turned tension to steady air.
But when I left, cracks all showed,
Everything wild, the chaos flowed.
Lunch rush hit, but I flipped that scene,
Turned the chaos calm, kept it clean.
Hot potato fun, kids laughing loud,
Peace in the room, I was proud of that crowd.
Line-up spots with faces shown,
No more fights about where to go.
Water on deck, basket in hand,
Kept ’em hydrated, running the plan.
Small moves steady, that’s how I rolled,
Turned wild to rhythm, heart to gold.
Then I was gone, and peace went too,
Structure cracked where chaos grew.
Kids lost focus, voices rose,
What was smooth turned to overload.
No line-up order, fights came back,
Lunch went wild, patience cracked.
Water ran dry, no system tight,
They forgot the work that made it right.
I brought the calm, they brought the storm,
Held that class through every norm.
Rules were tight, hearts were warm,
’Til they twisted truth and broke the form.
But I still stand, I still rise,
They can’t erase what I stabilized.
I gave my all, they played their game,
Tried to break me down, still I stayed the same.
Truth don’t bend, light don’t fade,
I rose from the fire that they made.
Kids found peace, I found grace,
Walked away, set the pace.
They lost control, I kept my flame —
Still standing tall, they’ll remember my name.
