apprehension, confusion,
fear and dread,
scared of the unknown,
I just wish I were dead.
another year of school,
more nightmares to endure,
I wish I knew myself,
confident and sure.
My body trembles,
chills race through,
I shake in fear,
as I start the year anew.
Others dread the tests,
the homework and learning,
but I dread the social scene,
for friendships I’m yearning.
I feel as though I’ve lost,
everything i once gained,
the happiness, assurance,
confidence I haven’t maintained.
