Unwanted

It's my first day of school,

I feel I'm unwanted.

I walk up the stairs of stone,

but this is not my own.

The white faces stare at me,

I know what their thinking.

They point when they see me walk,

And laugh when I talk.

It's my first day of school,

I feel I'm unwanted.

Today at lunch I sat all alone,

just me next to stone.

I will never forget those first days of school,

and how I shook

and tried to make myself look

cool.
