Poem Title:
Poem
In me, the first day of school is relentless I wake with old dreads lodged in my chest My home moves endlessly, it’s countless Now every moment is a painful unrest In my breast lies constant trepidation The first time, I wept for a home longingly Now I carry homelessness as an affliction The new kid in me never leaves quietly New friends are no longer entertainment Friendship seeps cold in my soul reluctantly Bred alone I crave crisp disentanglement Nurture has sealed shyness cellularly Stay don’t run from the classroom fearfully Fix sour newness until it’s commonplace Endless book reports don't close quietly See newness as novel, not my disgrace All moments are fresh as a school dance Keep showing up with perfect attendance
