Am I ready?
    The first step of the rest of my life.
To not have my mother, a safe, warm guard, around me.
To become one of many; my individuality snatched away.
Am I ready?
    The big step everyone talks about.
    To not depend on anyone but myself.
    To become who I was truly created to be; to fulfill my destiny.
Am I ready?
    The risky step to persist my desired path.
    To not crumble under society’s norms and expectations.
    To become a wife, mother, and worker; become selfless.
Am I ready?
    The last step in this journey.
    To not ponder on the current disaster
    To let go of everything; leave the world as peacefully as I entered it.
