and i do not want to be a rose//i do not wish to be pale pink//but flower scarlet, flower gold//and have no thorns to distance me
i'm leaving tomorrow for something i've never known. and it's easy to sit here and be a bitch to my mom because i'm scared of leaving. and staying home tonight is growing in its appeal because then i won't have to say goodbye.
it's startling to know that i'll be going from having everything to not having any kind of tangible comfort.
i will be leaving some of the most indescribably amazing people i can imagine. and i'm coming back to them, too.
i just hope i am not forgettable to those who actually matter to me.
