Scared
October 7, 2015
I walk in,
*Left foot, right foot*
*Left foot, right foot*
Feet don’t kill me now.
Fifty eyes follow,
waiting for my feet to fail
*Left foot, right foot*
*Left foot, right foot*
Forty eyes on me,
five mouths giggle.
*Left foot, right foot*
*Left foot, right foot*
The tipsy desk.
The unstable chair.
My legs wobble.
Stomach through the floor.
My shorts hit the cold chair.
My airway is clear.
Everything is normal,
except another new school.
