Graduating with uncertainty

Posted On:

By Emma Wilson

I’m graduating, and I’m scared 

the world is so questionable

in terms of being able to find a job anyway

and I am about to walk across the forsaken stage

the next steps feel so unclear 

in hopes of finding a career

Feeling safe and secure

seems so unlikely in this moment

Hunched over, sulking in my despair 

Change is scary, yet it’s constantly evolving 

I must raise my spine and walk forward

And feel the endless discomfort of uncertainty

Knowing I won’t be uncertain forever 

Even though I’ve been in the uncertain before

I know that it will come again, over and over again

So, for now, I must hear those who love

For I know I’m not alone in this experience
