Doe eyes, blinded by bright white lights. Come at me with impact, and take me by surprise. I’ve frozen, I’m gone, and I don’t think you know just what you’ve done; and I might contribute this to the fact that I don’t know quite what you’ve made of me yet either. Am I a fool? Do you make such vulnerable eye contact with everyone you accidentally encounter in life’s road? Do you stand by all their sides until help arrives, like you waited un-required, by me? Though I’d fear to jinx it, I have to say, that I just might survive this fated crash alive. Or at least, you make me delusional enough to want to try.

A Deer in the Headlights You Cast.
C-alling your parents because you have no O-ne to talk to or hang out with. L-osing touch with everyone and L-eaving all your old friends. E-ventually realizing that it's not all you made it out to be. G-reat, compared to high school, but E-very day you come "home" to an empty dorm. Alone.
