On Applying to Boarding School
Three words echo in my mind...
How To Apply
But instead of being
the directions
the map
the road I am to follow,
instead they are a question.
A question which I am afraid to answer.
How To Apply?
How am I supposed to do this?
How am I supposed to abandon everything?
Everyone.
How To Apply?
How can I not abandon this
bull life I now live??
How To Apply?
How can I make everyone understand
that I can't go on in this way?
How To Apply?
How To Type In My Name
And Press Send?
How To Sacrifice
The Girl I Am
For the Woman I Want To Become?
How To Apply.
The three words
I adore
and dread.
But there are three other words
I adore
and dread
even more:
Application Accepted;
Welcome.
