When I first scanned the school it seemed too big.

A maze that I was scared to get lost in.

I was as fragile as a small little twig

not ready for this chapter to begin.

With one year in the books three more await.

This time around I conquered all my fears,

instead I hold a new feeling galore.

I no longer sleep I no longer eat.

Three years of stress done with a year to go.

Sleepless nights full of worksheets and packets,

long school days full of things I do not know

due to sleeping through all the racket.

As this chapter comes to an end this year

I have learned that the road ahead is clear.
