19. Life at a New School
Aahil Saleem Nasir, M2F2
Going to a new school
can really make you feel like a fool
And deep inside my soul
I wanted everyone to think I was cool
Misgivings line up in my head,
Filling my heart and soul with dread,
Making hard for me not to shed
Shed a tear
out of fear
Its ok, the end is near
But I would still never dare
To ever ask anyone to share
My peers stare at me to no end
While the pathway stretches forth with no bend
I wonder if someone will hand a pencil for me to lend
The unfamiliarity gnaws at me
Like an unsightly and ugly scab on the knee
A grey gloominess stretching out as far as I can see
