(I'm Ready)

Armed with but my pride
(perhaps a bit too much)
And a pen and notebook
(black and college-ruled)
I'll take on the World
(large, scary-but manageable)
Head on, no fear, let's go
Hit me with your best shot
My chest is puffed
My shirt white and flawless
(except for that mustard stain)
I am done being shy, scared
So long have I spent
Living in the darkness
(lonely-it hurts)
That the brightest of lights
And the darkest of nights
Cannot lay a finger on me
So, come on, World
What are you waiting for?
(I'm ready)
