the walk to school
suddenly seemed too short
my stomach churning the whole way
I climbed up the stairs,
wishing I could do it in slow motion
groups of kids fluttering in the hallway
the foundation of everything seemed so shaky
nevous smiles
"good luck"
the identical directions began
as they always did
making me a little calmer, maybe
but mostly just empty words
the directions were ending
"You may begin"
My heart dropped
and in a second I did
and it didn't seem so bad anymore
but still pretty bad
