Juliana Collins "Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature itself" //William Hazlitt//



__Like a Fly on the Wall __ Big school Empty hallways Lonely Cold Frightening

The gentle hum of the lights Is the only thing that keeps me sane Dark night Uneventful night Important night

New faces fill the halls Face from last year not to be found Like an long lost family member Vanished Never to be seen again

“They look young” The fire alarm, trophies, water fountains Everyone; agreeing

Warm turned to cool Cool turned to cold And cold to cool Back to warm again

My fear approaching So very soon

“Don’t leave” I begged

They did

Now Once again I am left Alone Cold Frightened

__Left __  They have left me Alone, frightened, cold Shut the door with lock and key They have left me

Summer gets as warm as can be I miss the kids who were so bold They have left me Alone, frightened, cold
