Listen Too Closely
Ian is an upcoming poetic. My mind game during my first day to college.
It was 5 a.m
I woke up
I was not sure if this was the real day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
It was the great day
I was waiting for it
For almost a thousand day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
I guess my mother was happy
My siblings too
It was a dream day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
Unsure of the feeling
Like I was worried
I was ready for the day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
It was 8.am
I boarded a car
I started the day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
I was making a step
I was joining campus
I had waited for the day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
Not knowing what awaited me
I left to face it
God has given me the day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
I reached Masaku town
The atmosphere was tense
It was on a sunny day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
I saw a dark blue gate
With armed men
Maybe it was not my day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
Wait, what a fool I was
They were guards
There to make my day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
In the dusty office
Was my professor
Ready to take me through the day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
Finally I was there
I was the what called bonafide student
This was my day
But in my mind, I listened too closely
