Freshman MAG
December 2, 2017
The children in white
Always seem to be
More like a herd of animals
Than a class.
Every screeching transition
Like a chord that strikes the ear
In just the wrong way.
Every middle school insult
Causes absolute chaos,
As if a bomb had just struck
The middle of the jungle.
The constant whispers grow
Like a fungus
Creeping its way slowly
About the forest classroom:
A wave of secrets and giggles

This poem is inspired by those freshman that just don't seem to get that high school is much different from the middle schools they come from.
