The Newbie
Walkin' down the hallway with my
head held high
Hopin' no ones noticing that
I'm about to cry
I try not to see their stares
To pretend that I don't care
But they're all birds of prey
Just waiting for me to break
Making my way down to class
trying not to go too fast
I know if I get lost
There's going to be a heavy cost
I try to scope the land
to come up with some kind of plan
But soon I begin to drown
In the unfamiliar sounds
Of a new school
Where being new
Is just not cool.

The Good: Now THIS is OMG amazing! I loved it! It shows all the emotions of being left out in simple, yet beautiful, language. This is going into my favorites - kudos! :D
The Bad: *FLAWLESS*
The Random: I'm just going to sit here and finish my critique and pretend I'm not weirded out by the fact I just read my own thoughts on a computer screen.... :) Seriously, that's how real this is.
