Leaving Home

Hours, minutes seconds,

Less than a day,

It's not far away now.

My life will change, and I don't use that word lightly,

And I'll step away from home for the first time.

I'm taking flight,

I'm finally spreading my wings,

My first time truly away from home,

Where even if I wanted to come back I can't.

It's painful to wait!

How much longer until I go?

I could burst with excitement!

So why do I not?

I am so happy, yes,

But I'm scared too.

Am I smart enough?

Can I fend for myself?

What if something goes wrong?

I ask myself many questions.

But I know that in the end,

Things will all work out fine,

And I'll be glad that I ever made the decision

To leave home

For the first time.
