Scared


I'm leaving tomorrow
I'm scared
I don't know what's gonna happen once I step on that plane
Will it get to it's destination?
Or will it crash and burn?
I pray for the former

I'm meeting my lover's family
I'm scared
I don't know what's gonna happen once they speak to me
Will they like me straight away?
Or will they make life uncomfortable?
I pray for the former

I'm embracing all my fears
I'm dead
Not quite confident enough just yet
