Favorite Quote:
We accept the love we think we deserve.


Moving slowly
like cattle
through the packed
long never ending
suspenseful walkway

Arriving in a strange
place not knowing
what lies ahead
strange people staring and watching

Everyone does their
own thing
groups of people
are forming
in little cliques

Wandering around
not knowing where
to go losing
sight of
all you know

Trying to stay
hidden but
secretly wanting
to join in
all the excitement

Nerves racking
while minds
scramble trying
to make sense
of it all

Learning and
experiencing new
and unique
things about
people and life

I was inspired to write this poem from my own experience as well as my friends'. Everyone has had a first day and for most people its scary so thought people could relate to this poem. I thought it would be a great topic to write about.
