A New Chapter

moving to secondary feels so strange
Teachers tell us to write page after page
I don’t know the teachers or the school 
I don’t know my lessons every rule 

Test then homework then test 
Teachers yelled but we doing our best
A whirl pool of stress notted inside us
We go home parents ask what’s wrong
We reply as nothing much

It’s a big step you know
We need to learn step up say no
You need friends to support you
Friends feelings too

Everything is getting better
The knot inside me starting to ease 
I’ve got friends that support me 
I can laugh with my class without being alone

I like the giant step I’ve made 
In front of me opportunities are laid 
The post the new friends and learning goals
Most has changed but I like it
