High school English play

We had to do a performance
For our high school English class
I played the mother in our little group
It was about an altercation and
I was to stop the argument
But I'd get embarrassed
When ever that English teacher 
Looked my way
And then those words
Just wouldn't come out the right way
He always made me feel 
Like I wasn't good enough
Like I was somehow
Inadequate in some way
That's exactly how he made me feel that day!
I could see him reading our little play
Looking at me and seeing that I'd
Not done my bit as I was meant to
Not said my piece when it was time
Oh how I felt his searing gaze
As I trembled there in shame
Simply because I couldn't 
Get those words out
Couldn't open up my mouth
Because I knew what was coming
Just knew he'd lay that blame
Upon my tiny little shoulders
Just like he did every English class!
