My Future Self

This is it my Senior year
something I’ve hoped for yet feared 
a new journey starts for this young girl but will my decisions really change the world?
I am told that I am smart and capable but will my wits be able 
to withstand the harshness that is the real world?
I want to succeed and make money
Just like every other human
But what I really want
Is to be happy with what I am doing
I am so confused and scared
If any opportunities come and disappear in the air
Life isn’t easy, I already know that
And succeeding doesn’t happen quickly
I wish I could change that
I just have to remember that I am young
Closing my eyes and taking deep breaths with my lungs
and that I have energy now
to do the things that will make me proud
of
My Future Self
