Grade 10 Quick Write "drama teacher"

I wish I could tell them that I knew what I was doing. Just to scream out I'm lost, I don't have a clue. But I can't. I'd lose my reputation. I would then lose my job and then I'd have no money. Why don't I just tell them I don't know? I just can't.
It would be to humiliating for them to know that I don't know. They would chew me up and spit me out. They would claw me to death and leave my body to rot. To have the flies swarm myself and lay their disgusting eggs in me.
Oh well, it would happen sooner or later. It would be over soon. I don't know when, but soon. This is why I can't tell them, they would think I was old. Losing my mind. I just can't do it.
I just can't answer the question that my student has asked me, maybe if I wait a few seconds the bell will ring and I'll have time to think about. But if I don't they will tear me apart, and think I'm stupid.
