Early rise
Up with the sun
New clothes lay out
Nervous stomach flipping
Backpacks full
Ready to go
Watching the clock
Another year begun
New routines
Buses to catch
Carpools head out
Morning rush back in place
Busy halls
Classes to find
Subjects to hate
New friendships to be made
Lunch box packed
Searching for friends
Standing alone
Wanting to belong here
Sighed relief
Finished the day
Survived again
To repeat tomorrow
