Life is like an ice cream, enjoy it before it melts.<br /> Dosti mai no sorry, no thank you.


All new faces in the hallway,
As you try getting to your class straight away,
A feeling of lonleliness and solitude all around you,
That's because you are a Freshmen, all new.

Piles of homework making you feel tense,
Looking at a math problem that doesn't make sense,
Remembering all the golden days of middle school,
That's because you are a Freshmen, new in High school.

Getting to your classes is what you worry all night,
But don't you worry; things will get all right,
Right now, life is just a big mess,
That's because you are a Freshmen, no more, no less.

Like all Freshmen new to High school, I was tense and worried. So, I wrote this poem depicting the fear of Freshmen, on the first day of school.

Ha! Well said! I especially like the last line; it finished the piece off quite nicely.

I know your pain very well.
