Worth It
March 4, 2014
Pressure
I'm 6 feet under
8... feet
10... feet
Someone help me!
I'm coughing, I'm screaming...
But I'm not.
I'm curious and excited.
Wondering can I handle this?
What will happen if I crack?
I'm not scared
I'm not 10, 8, 6, or even 3 feet under.
I'm floating on the clouds
would be an exaggeration.
I'm like a toddler. Just beginning to walk. I'm eager to stand up, again.
when I bmp in to a wall or a leg
I shake it off.
I may be expected to be an AP classes
Be social
orchestra
Act prep
All in Freshmen year but I'm determined.
I will live and I will learn.
I will be the nerd in high school but I will come out on top. How can I not?
