Alone

Alone

I remember the time I first went away,
I was going to school, and there I would stay.
I felt so confused, I felt so alone,
The drive took so long, I was so far from home.
What did I do? Why was I here?
I was frightened and lost, and so full of fear.
When the time had arrived to say goodbye,
I wanted to run I wanted to cry.
They kissed my cheek, told me to be brave,
Be a good girl, and always behave.
So all alone I stood with my heart in my mouth,
As they turned round the car and headed home south.

The housemistress came; she led me upstairs,
"Now turn off the tears dear, nobody cares"
I unpacked my case, laid my clothes on the bed,
She took them away and gave me others instead.
A million wild thoughts run through my young head,
As night time arrived and I lay in my bed
I don't like it here, I feel so alone,
Please come and get me, please take me home.
