Dorm Life
Brianna Gilbert
I packed up all my things box after box
I sure hope I got everything
Crap, I forgot my socks
Here's that first call back home
Filled with more tears than the last time we spoke
"I just need you to send me a few things, including my comb"
"Of course honey, we miss you don't forget to call"
Click. Time for bed.
I stare at the ladder, plotting how not to fall
1, 2, 3 easy now... 4, 5 I made it
Now I have to pee
I don't want to climb down, it's easier to just sit.
Sun comes up, Alarm goes off
It's not mine.
Roommate presses snooze and continues to cough
She goes to class, I wake up
Time for class, I'm out the door
Sitting through lectures, I can't do this anymore
Back to the Dorm, thank god for AC
Keep the door open, just met a girl named Macy
I could get used to this.
