School Days
Nervous, excited, my awareness heightened,
I awoke with warmth of the sun on my face,
My first day of school I couldnβt wait to embrace.
I wandered the halls, fresh faced, smart dressed, shoes laced, fast paced toward my class, my heart racing, assessing all that passed.Β The sounds and smells and ringing of bells.
Like a lamb to the slaughter, for the first quarter and then thrill, I made a friend, tremors became still, chilled.
Not long into my day, darkness befell, my short stint in the light became four years of hell.
Chants of gay, delay in tears, reared inside, I succumbed to my fears.Β
It happened so fast, socially outcast, black balled and bagged fast.
The girl of my dreams at the time out of reach,
I ached as the walls of my heart were breached and yet with regret my fate had been set, bestowed by cruellest of mindset.
Called names out of spite, too weakened to fight, no friends to listen, my spark lost light,
Superglue in my socks, I was ridiculed, I became a shell before the flocks of misconstrued.
Billows of dust replaced my air, tightening my chest, I lived in despair whilst others in jest jollied in flare.Β My last day was alone, a sombre walk home and then glee, I was free, free to roam!
