Fear of the unknown.
p*ss it college for me?
To be what I can be.
The future, I'd like to see.
I am uncertain, I don't know what to do.
People say that I just have no follow through.
Although in reality, I know that it's just not true.
It doesn't help the doubt that I feel.
And it kind of makes me feel like a heel.
I can't make sense of it, what's the deal?
There are so many reasons that I shouldn't go.
No car, no finances, it's a hard road to tow.
My lack of confidence makes me feel low.
I know that if I went, I would finally prove to me.
And it would put us in a better bracket financially.
I just want to know I can do it, for my own eyes to see.
I am nervous about going back to college.
But I so badly want to increase my knowledge.
To have the confidence at work, to have an edge.
So I will push myself, to do what I must.
I will be trying not to get burried in the dust.
So for me, I guess, it's college bound or bust!
