The Lion of Grades 7, 8 and 9

I see the tangles of

corridors and lockers.

It's like a maze with

problems lurking like

monsters.

Is it like the pages

of a book with jocks,

cheerleaders, nerds

and drama queens?

I fear getting lost, losing

years of play and childhood.

Once I go to (school name),

the elementary school

become only memories

consumed by the lion

of grades 7, 8 and 9.

Friends stay at (school name),

some vanish at (school name).

The taste of excitement,

fear and anxiety lingers on my tongue.

Middle school, (school name) is a

foreign concept, one I will

have to explore.
