21/02/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation
Walking into school
Not knowing anyone
Far away from friends
And worried about everything
Because you don’t know
Which teachers are nice
And which kids to stay away from
Or where the best spots are
When you want to sit quietly and read.
Will the librarian be strict
Or let you take an extra book
Every now and then?
Is the sports teacher cool
Or a hard arse
Who only has eyes for the very best?
Will that boys beat me up
If I look at him funny
Or sit in his seat in class?
Is the pretty girl going to laugh
When I talk to her
Or accept me for who I am?
You don’t know what you’re getting
Until you walk through those gates
And the world closes in on you
While you find your feet
And your voice,
And maybe being different
Isn’t different here
And I’ll fit in just fine
Even though I’m the new kid.
This is great. My youngest is going through this as we speak. She’s having a tough time ❤️
