Leaving The Nest

June 25, 2015

I knew that someday I'd have to leave

When I told my parents they wouldn't believe

I'd have to set out on my own

I couldn't wait and I couldn't postpone

I was going to a new school filled with new faces

I was going to get a better education and travel to new places

I thought my first day would be rough

But all I had to do was be brave and tough

After school, all my nervous feelings subsided

And I realized that my two worlds had collided

Yesterday I was being bullied and pushed around

Today I am spreading my wings and leaving the ground

I am going wherever my dreams take me

I can be whoever I want to be
