Dual-Enrolled
I don’t belong here.
These four words,
Echoing through my mind.
You shouldn’t be here.
I’m panicking, my heart racing
Like it’s trying to escape,
To leave while there’s still time.
The people I pass
All seem so big,
Staring at me
Like I’m an imposter.
I’m too small, too young,
Too lost, too dumb.
I don’t fit in
Among all these adults.
A little girl like me,
Not yet sixteen,
Going to college?
Absurd! Ridiculous!
But there I am,
Blindly stumbing
Through the halls.
