All Alone

Slowly walking. Head held high. People yelling, people
screaming, people chanting. Do not turn back, keep walking.
First day of school. Guards all around, surrounding me. We
enter the school. Halls empty, all is quiet. No one's
there, empty, halls so bare and quiet.

First day of school. Sitting, waiting, patiently watching.
In the office, people come and go. Parents coming, children
going. What is happening? Where is everyone going? 3:30
time is going, sitting waiting, school is over now.

Next day, halls still empty, all is silent. Walking, into
the classroom, first day. It is empty. Lots of desks no
children. Must be early. But I am not. I am the only one.
