This is my street I smile at the faces I’ve known all my life They regard me with pride And everyone’s sweet They say, “You’re going places!’ So how can I say that while I was away I had so much to hide! “Hey guys, it’s me!

Straighten the spine Smile for the neighbors Everything’s fine Everything’s cool The standard reply: “Lots of tests, lots of papers.” Smile, wave goodbye And pray to the sky, oh, god… And what will my parents say? Can I go in there and say “I know that I’m letting you down…” (Mira Nina) Just breathe...
