“A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.”
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery


The end closes in like a cold hand,
Like the winter in a barren land.
I gasp for breath as I’m going down
‘Cause I’m too afraid to leave this town.

My dreams, too big for feet to carry,
So sanity, I’ll have to bury.
Who can I turn to during sorrow?
What will really be there tomorrow?

I'm a graduating senior, and the prospect of leaving everything behind and going to college is terrifying. The end of high school is a joyous, but scary thing.
