School day

Alarm sounds beep

The birds fly free

I wake up with glee

But I want to scream

Another day to see

New things to read

What now to flee?

My life isn’t so neat

Even though I have everything I need

Not riches but seeds

I get ready for school

My nerves are finally cooled

I walk as I hang onto my Flute

Ready to stay mute

In the cafeteria, My sister grabs a fruit

I just stand there as if I had roots

On our way, each path we’d find a small group

I felt cooped

But then I got introduced

I felt like we were going in loops
