Empty Nest

This is a poem about my feelings on leaving my parents to go to university.

Empty Nest

Uncertainty. Indecision.
I just don't know.
Who I want to be, where I want to go.

Fear. Clouding my vision.
I am not sure.
Shuffling my feet out of the door.

Nervousness. Excitement.
Maybe I do.
Want to live my life. Away from you.

Realisation. Enlightenment.
Could it be true?
Mom. Dad. I'm a grown up too.

Necessary. Needful.
I have to learn.
Leave your house. Money to earn.

Afraid. Painful.
I don't want to leave.
But goals for my life. I have to achieve.

Ready. Willing.
I have to fly.
Spread my wings. I now know why.
