I'm scared

I'm scared to see

What lies beyond these doors

The gate to my future

Whats in store?

 

I'm scared to let go

Of my high school freedom

Graduation is near

Times passing like the seasons

 

I'm scared to know

What reality has to offer

I'm not at all prepared

I'm like a lamb to the slaughter

 

I'm scared to find out

Which of my friends will stay

Who are the real ones

And which ones will fade

 

I'm scared to hold

All the power of my life

Making such a crucial choice

Cutting through me like a knife

 

I dont want to be scared

Of what I have now

I want to enjoy life

I'm not exactly sure how

 

I'll think about my future

And all that is to come

When reality comes knocking

By then I'll be done

 

Change will happen

Slowly throughout time

I'll take it as it comes

Dont stress in the meantime

 

I won't be scared.
