Nervous Is My Middle Name

By Kara Weaver

 

Nervous is my attitude.

Sweat

&

Chills

spin through me.

 

A long way from here

home of the artists

 

new inventions

fill a world with technology

 

I am  old enough to party-

old enough to think of my far future

by the cool waters

&

tall trees of the earth

 

I do not know what's to come-

scared of the future

 

I'm the paranoid one in my group-

I am not daring.

 

I want to be the one to change things.

 

I need and crave my mouth to not go dry.

I need someone with me

always.

 

Music and words spin through my head-

 

I am my own person.
