Her Smile

First day
I am terrified
Ne'er have I
Thought
This day would come

I see those
Of a higher status
Standing all about
Their focus
On the more
Youthful crowd

I observe
A young girl
Making her way
Into the school
With admiration
From those who walk with her

The popular
Point
Look at her face they say

What is that?

Burned
Oh how she must feel
Though she walks
As if she were deaf

A smile on her face
As her friends
Stand by her side

That is when
I become less terrified
