Ring Around the Rosie

Ring around the Rosie Here we go again A broken heart and mixed emotions A nervous stomach and anxiety shake An excitement and hope A dream ready to be made true Classes of delight Art, history, and dance Classes of dread Math, English, and tech Comparing schedules Matching rooms Hallway mazes There he is The one who broke me Knees shaking Heart racing Skin chilled with bumps Avert the eyes or keep staring? My heart cries for him There she is Draped over her boy Sick acidic stomach The hated and frustration Once loved now truly hated There they are My new companions Hugs and greetings all around Smiles and laughter over summer tales Jokes and stories swapping Dialogue fills the still warm air Ring around the Rosie Here we go again Lonely and afraid Broken heart in its cage of bone Dread of a no more friend Excitement for the future
