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...)


The author's comments:

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.
