a familiar tightness and shortness of breath
slips into my chest...
college always does this to me.
it's not even the work.
i can do the work
like a prisoner doing his time
it's the people that i can't do.
why am i so socially awkward?
i am a triumph among those younger than me
but people my own age
make me feel like a snail
hiding in a shell in plain sight
where i could easily be stepped on.
i must sink into my comfortable stereotype
yes, that will help
i am a gamergirl who wears batman shirts
and plays assassin's creed in the library
move along, ugg boots.
nothing to see here.
