Graduation Poem for Friends

This is to my friend, who is insanely worried about going to high school. People always tell her it's going to be fine, there's nothing to worry about, but she doesn't listen, because she needs way more encouragement :)

Don't Worry, Don't Be Afraid

© Jessica
You loved elementary school,
You were nice, followed all the rules.
But now it's time for high school,
You don't know if you are ready,
You don't even have a clue.

The classes, the try-outs, the games, the sports,
You know you need a lot more education, way more.

You can't tell if you're excited or upset,
But trust me hun, high school won't be a regret.
Think of all your friends, new people, and sights to see,
This is the age when it's time to be free.

You could be a writer, a doctor, a cook,
With just a pick up of a text book,
You know it's time to be let out of the nest,
But you're going to miss sitting at those other desks.

It's a hard decision to make,
But it's a risk you'll have to take.
Just take it easy,
You'll know when you're ready.
