The windows swell with infinite darkness
As the air grows hot and heavy inside.
My brain swirls with a million thoughts
And my chest feels tight with worry and fear.
Time has crept upon me like a panther
Stalking a bashful deer in the forest.
In two short weeks, nothing will be the same,
For my life is changing before my eyes.
Before I know it, I'm going to be
One hundred seventy-five miles away.
Away from the safety of family,
Away from the house I've called home for years.
If only I had cherished my years of
Living at home and going to high school.
My life is going too fast and I wish,
I wish everything could just slow down.
