First Semester, Freshman Year.

"Symptoms of schizoprenia"
"Symptoms of chronic mania"
Why do I feel hunted?
All I want,
ALL I want—

A fire sank the titanic.

When I was younger
Young—5 years old
Feeling trapped for the first time,
Grownups with painted smiles—

When I was younger
I wanted to fly away
I wanted to be...
"If you could choose, what superpower would you want, and why?"
Translucent.

Sitting criss cross applesauce
And flapping her cold, white legs
And trying to fly away—

A fire sank the titanic.
