Ready


The time is fast approaching, and I am not ready.

The time is almost heare, and I feel dizzy headed, 

I have been working towards this all my life, and now that it's near,

I don't want it to come.

It's going to be so weird not being able to rely on you for everything, 

My life will change as soon as I have that degree in my hand, 

I feel like it will burn as I hold it.

But, I know that I've got to grow up, and you do too.

We will go through this together, and I am so relieved,

I feel that with you by my side, the world is not as scary.

The time is fast approaching, and I am a bit more ready.

With you by my side, I can take whatever the world throws at me.
