I'm Afraid of the First Day of School
Bright, sharpened pencils,
Desks all aligned in a row,
It's the first day of high school
AND I don't want to go.
Very different teachers,
with outlandish surnames,
I WANT my last year's teachers
Things will NEVER be the same!
I don't remember the things I learned,
or the grades I made.
The TRUTH is,
If you really must know,
I'm REALLY afraid.
