From feeling like
I had just started to understand
To being taken to a total
Alien land
A land of confusion

Not understanding
Second guessing
Unsure of every step
Turn, glance, breath

The concepts foreign
The words oblique
I wonder in this world
Afraid that the next thing
I do will result in total failure

I cannot afford that
Not personally
Or academically
But I truly do not know
How to escape this
Alien land

I have to come to it
At least 2 more times
How do I ensure success
In a place where
I know nothing
I can prevail?

Six weeks each
These classes last
Alien lands multiply
Yet I don't have permission
To leave and never to return

Take me home
Where I shall be secure
Understood
Safe

I just want to be part of
My own galaxy again
For this alien land
Isn't home
