New faces

I walk
through the door.
Heart pounding.
Face red.
New faces surround me.

Thoughts of my friends
race through my mind.
The parties.
The laughter.
I dream.

The bell brings me back
to reality.
I make my way
down the hall.

Everything I know
now just memories.
Everything I was
now erased.

Mind in the past.
I look back
but walk on.
