Feelings Outside Vs. In
I'm truly scared...
This is something you’d never hear me say out loud
Because In reality,
Genuinely ready to embark on this new journey
I know I am, Not
A doubt in my mind
Oh, I know exactly what I’m doing and where I’m going of course
Know how to fully take care of myself without a bit of my parents’ help and
I lowkey still don't
Understand entirely why it’s so hard to just move on and go on your own
Really ready to leave home & go off to college
No matter what I say, I’m not
Coming back to visit when I get my first chance. Also
Want to make an entirely different & brand new community of friends and
Will miss my family… hardly
*Sigh* Whelp, let’s go kick start my life. I honestly
Think that I can truthfully do this all on my own
“Life can’t possibly be THAT hard” I always say. Please, don’t ever
Need to question myself
“Will I even make it in life?”
(Now read bottom up...)

I was inspired to write a poem in this unique format after stumbling upon a poem called Pretty Ugly by: Abdullah Shoaib on Snapchat (haha). After reading the poem, I was amazed by the creativity and tremendous effort put into the piece. I've never written a poem quite like this before so decided to take a crack at it.--And as for subject wise; I've recently wanted to write a poem describing my feelings towards going off to college soon but didn't exactly know how I wanted to execute such poem. This ended up being the perfect scenario. I put two & two together and BAM!!! Feelings Outside Vs. In was born.
