My First Time
My First Time
Back in the courtyard
I sat alone and cried,
I was in class 1.
Back in the playground
I sat alone and wept,
I was in class 2.
Back in the school compound
I sat alone and sobbed,
I was in class 3.
Back in my room
under the table
I sat alone and wailed,
I was in class 4.
I came home
went straight to the Loo
I sat alone and Whined,
I was in class 5.
Back on the last bench
I sat alone and Squalled,
I was in class 6.
Back in the graveyard
I sat alone and cried,
I was in class 7.
Back in the park
I sat alone and wept,
I was in class 8.
Back at my uncle's house
I sat alone and sobbed,
I was in class 9.
Back in my bed
Under the blanket,
I clinched my pillow
Held my breath
And silently wept,
I was still in class 9.
Back at the mountain top
I sat and cried,
I was no longer alone
Pen and Paper
Were my newly found friends,
I was still in class 9.
