Calm Yourself


An adult is what I'm considered now 

18 is all that it takes to take that big leap in the outside world

My heart is beating so fast, what if I do something wrong? 

I need to calm myself or else I will go into this deep hole of self-doubt

Fear, fear, fear please go away I don't need you next to me while I go to my college orientation 

I don't need you while I take my first college class, 

Calm yourself or else you won't get through these few months before college

Calm yourself because that is expected of an adult.
