100 Poems: Poem 11

{Take the 100 Things challenge!}

I got mixed. Still I rise is Poem #10. I'll fix that when I add the graphic.

Today I made the decision I had been ruminated over for quite awhile. I've decided that I do want to attend LSU. I tried to lie to myself and make up excuses to reason with myself that I should stay up here. But honestly I'm scared. It'll be my first extended stay away from home and I'm completely scared. I've never been that far away from home even though it's still in the same state. But I have hankered to go this school and this meeting today confirmed for me. So I'm just going to have to grit my teeth and get on that Greyhound.

So the poem I choose today relates to this. It is A Girl Ago by Lucie Brock-Broido.
