It scares the hell out of me
That in a little more than
A year I will be an adult
And
I can't daydream
I have to make things
Happen
And
That life can turn out
The exact opposite of how
I may want it
And
That I'm not ready

At the brink of the Great Canyon of adolescence
About to be pushed off into
The Wild Wide World
And
*I'm scared as hell
