Survivor
March 7, 2013
While my teacher began the lesson
Before we heard the cry
Whenever she sensed our fear, she protected us as time went by
Until our classroom door flung open
A bullet turned this nightmare into reality
As tears stung my eyes
While the screaming continued
Since my teacher protected me
Even though her heart stopped beating
As the screams faded away
I call myself a survivor and remember the eyes of my angel protector

It is indeed heartbreaking. This is good, especially the first half. I admire someone who can write from another's point of view, it isnt a skill that comes easy with me.
