First Day, New School

Waking up,

6 o’clock am,

nervous to an extreme,

get ready get dressed try to impress,

or leave yourself floating out in the void.

You’ve done this before,

oh many times, but those experiences,

cannot compare at all.

Don’t you dare get lost in those halls;

do you want to be the fool again?!

Well what a surprise the teachers are actually nice,

this is a welcome change of scene;

WAIT the textbooks are actually from this century!?

End of the day,

I’m completely exhausted,

but it didn’t end in a complete tragedy.

Maybe this school really is for me?
