Tension

The hallway is almost completely silent,

Only a few footsteps and nervous whispers break the quiet,

Then it happens in a heartbeat,

All of them, as if cued somehow, rise to their feet,

A few remain, they look more anxious here,

They all await their first class, hoping to put past their fear,

All peering around, eyes wides,

Unable in this hallway to hide,

It's all on the table now, a fresh start,

To maintain a healthy lifestyle while in college, now that's an art!
