'is angry at the merest trifles' by Ravyn LaRue

I got something in the mail today
saying I’m in an academic honor’s society
saying
if I were to return to Columbia
they’d give me a colossal scholarship
and my mother said
“I would support you if you decided to go back”
and I panicked and convulsed and yelled
“NO NO NO, I’ll NEVER go back”
and then I fell apart completely
And as I write this
I still haven’t mended myself back together
