A New Step


I am sixteen 
And finally I living with my mother
And a new sister
Also meeting new people
New school I'm scared
Sixteen years old little age
Many stories
Little time in this country
Many things to learn
Little by little
I will learn 
Nobody knows how
I feel and I need to improve myself
The school is new
All are strangers 
How can I Leave my past
And live my present 
Little by little
The snow begins to fall 
The cold begins 
I begin  to understand 
At this time how to be happy
And started learning the language 
I've learned to live without my past
The past hurts but 
I'm strong and I can do it.
