[withers]

~over in 10 days~
.excited
.terrified
.nervous.
it never seemed like this time would come,
now that it is here -i'M-
.s.c.a.r.e.d.
am i ready for the real world?
is the real world ready for ME?
what is life like outside the
confinement
of central.
beginning? END? bOTh?
WE will get through it,
eVerYone does.
there is still summer- TOgether
but then i'LL be left.
theY should send ME away, i would visit.
damn over protective parents;
isn't this the time to be INDEPENDENT?
learn to live ON YOUR OWN?
become
GROWNUP?

a 6 year old asked if i was still a kid.
immediate response -YES-
but, am i still a kid?
no
when did i grow up?
~before i even knew it
