I don't want to leave home,
because it finally,
finally feels like
home.
I finally feel safe
and happy in this house.
I finally understand
my family
and love them more
than before.
I don't want to leave
next year,
for I've only recently
gotten comfortable here.
What will I do
far away,
sharing tiny living spaces
with stranger?
My mounting anxiety
is the fault only of college.
I don't want to have
to make my own home
out of a shared room
so soon.
I want the comfort
of having a house,
and having a room within
that house.
I hate dorm rooms,
they are small
and ugly.
I hate dorm bathrooms,
they are too sterile
and too shared.
No privacy of a locked door
and solitude.
I do not bode well
with such shared quarters,
I do not bode well with
people.
I want to stay home
for a long time.
