Nope
I'm not going back to school.
I'm going to ignore the back-to-school ads
And shopping trips
The packing
The new outfits
The brand-new pencils
I won't do it
I won't go back and see all of them and feel stupid
I can't be around humanity anymore because I just feel so
U n w o r t h y
And horrible and so I won't.
I'm not going back
I don't know how to avoid it
I can't do it!
I won't go back
I can't
Nononono.
Chairs
straightbacked for posture perfection
in neat rows
arranged up each step of the staggered blue-carpeted levels
sneakers and boots rooted
to the tiled floor
gray speckled white
Everyone's playing Christmas music
Christmas movies
break is in two weeks
we're already preparing our favorite meals.
And I'm lost.
Not good lost,
not lost in the holiday cheer -
I'm just depressed.
I've never understood the phrase
hopelessly in love.
It's in all the books,
it's on TV.
Characters meet their special someone and bam
they're free falling
but they have their safety nets
