'96%' by Ravyn LaRue


"What've you done since you've been home?
Nothing."
That's what she says to me
It's been a week, and I've done plenty
Yet as usual it isn't enough
She's all too quick to peg me as useless
Instead of bothering to tally up my accomplishments
But no wonder, I suppose
She thinks I accomplished nothing while I was away
And yet in the next breath claims
"This last semester was the best thing to ever happen to you."
and "You learned more there than anywhere else."
As if it were the truth
When in reality I bet she meant it as celebrating my absence
I don't know
I certainly wasn't homesick for this
