A Poem From a Nervous Girl

The end of school is only four days away
A heart pounds against skeletal bars
Shivering in anticipation of graduating 
However the host of this heart 
Looks around at her environment 
Seeing everyone as malicious
Yet smiling at them and sharing 
The excitement
But dying from insecurity inside
The heart flutters in her chest
Registering her nerves
And begins to beat quicker 
Soon to break down the bars
And beat free
