New Life at the Junction

NEW LIFE AT THE JUNCTION

Someone said I was edgy,
wasn't how I tried to be.
A first day, a new start,
a junction for two different reasons.
A culmination of plans, dreams,
ambitions part fulfilled
in a step along a new pathway.

Not edgy, more unsure.
Forgetting new names
almost as soon as they're heard.
Looking at the new land
whilst staring into the distance.
Trying to be pleasant,
suppressing bewilderment.

Smiling, trying to hear,
trying to understand.
New ways, new life, new future.
Thinking I'll be fine,
hearing 'You'll be reet'.
A new life at the junction
preparing for new life.
