If we could capture the things we loved,
Would we still love them?

I think I am leaving for my one month in New York this weekend-

and when I get back, right away, I will have to go to night school-

and face my fears.

I don't fear their bodies-

I fear their eyes.

Because as much as I have tried to cut this thing out of me; this thing still throws itself at the feet of those who wish only to trample it, beyond recognition.

I hope I am not trampled.

I need to know I will survive.
