As I walk through the doors

On my very first day

The gasping, staring, and the words, “She doesn’t belong here”

The only things that are not foreign

I walk in and take a seat

I remind myself

Don't get comfortable

It's only a few years

Don't get comfortable

I remind myself

I walk in and take a seat

The only things that are not foreign

The gasping, staring, and the words, “She doesn’t belong here”

On my very first day

As I walk through the doors
