Not Ready For The World

Location

The Clock Is Ticking, 

Tick - Tock, Tick - Tock.

The Start Of My Last Year In School Is RIght Around The Corner,

Graduation Only Feels Like Its A Month Away,

Excited And Anxious, Yet Afraid And Reluctant.

 

The Responsibility Of Being Out On Your Own,

And Taking Care Of Yourself As A Young Adult,

Creep Into My Mind As Thoughts Known As Fears.

 

Its A Bittersweet Moment, 

To First Realize That This Will Be The Last Year You Will See All The Kids You Grew Up With,

Because After You Walk Across That Stage And Receive Your Diploma,

Everyone Goes Off To Live Their Seperate Lives,

Doing Things They've Planned For Months, And Maybe Even Years.

 

We May Feel Ready Now,

But What Happens When We Just Get Overwhelmed,

With All That Comes With Growing Up,

In Reality, 

We're Not Ready For The World, 

But The World Is Ready For Us.
