First Day (High School Story)


September, the 15th. First day of High School....



"First Day"
by Laura Shigihara

It is the first day, don't know where I stand anymore
I've got my hands in my pockets, I'm staring down at the floor
When I walk through the halls, will I fall flat on my face?
Am I in over my head, are people even gonna know my name?

Give it time
It's okay if I don't figure everything out overnight
It's too late to turn back now
Gotta fight (1-2-3)

Gotta be everything that I can
I might fail, if that's the way it's gotta be
I'll prove there's more to me than what you see
I'll live my life
All on the first day

It is the first day, and I'm sitting all by myself
All the weird things about me, maybe I should leave them somewhere else
When I wanna speak up, my voice decides it's gonna get really small
Cuz there's that part of me that wants to run and not be seen at all

Give it time...

Gotta be everything that I can...
