Why am I afraid?
I have completed my four years.
But am I ready for,
My life ahead?
Why am I afraid?
My parents tell me I’m ready.
It will be a whole new world,
Filled with new people and experiences.
Why am I afraid?
Leaving what I know behind to better myself.
College separates the boys from the men
So am I ready?
