    Change of Light

    The day was bright. But the morning was cold
    Grey skies and grey clouds with stories to be told.
    A friend approaches with smiling grace
    The final bit of happiness was shown upon her face.

    I entered the school with a nerve racking stare
    For I am highly dangerous with the items I bare.
    Alone in class hoping to avoid the cost
    When the V.P. entered I knew all hope was lost.

    Brought down to the office with no information
    The only thing they asked for was my co-operation
    Searched my pockets only to find a white flag
    I have surrendered, but in return I was given my empty bag.

    Hands behind my back as I walk with shame
    Once a legend here, I am now left with no fame
    The process was long but I was able to pull through
    Now in a different direction, with a start that is brand new.

    Nervous and scared on my first day
    This program is not for me in any way
    Regret and sorrow is now all I feel
    These people I never knew existed have now become real.

    After all the waiting and devastation
    A door was opened filled with inspiration
    My mind is set and I beg to write
    The words put down have shown an entirely new sight.

    From this experience my talent has grown
    All of my feelings have now been shown
    I look at the world in a different way
    And write down all that I see at the end of my day.

    Michael, 15
