Into the Dorms
Enveloped in darkness
The ceiling obscured.
Quiet sobs break the silence
Pillow damp from my tears.
In a labyrinth of hallways
Foreign walls closing in.
Strange faces surround me
I'm all alone here.
A new face at my door
"Can we help?" "Yes you can."
At least for a time, I'm not
So alone.
There's free lunch in the Quad
But my insides churn.
My childhood's fading
Don't go! Don't go!
Back in my room
Fingers gripping embrace.
Door closes behind them
I crumble and stare.
Enveloped in darkness
The ceiling obscured.
Quiet sobs break the silence
Pillow damp from my tears.
