Broken Nails
A small price to pay
Just a month ago her nails were polished and long
Now broken, uneven, and even one gone
The last one is in reference to a broken toe...
Her body still learning all the new steps to go
Even then it didn't cause her to skip a beat
Still working more hours and staying light on her feet
There is a stillness in her mind that initially felt wrong
Yet, as weeks have passed...
The gray matter between her ears...
Finally has a sense of feeling like it belongs
As she stares off into the distance into the pitch-black night
A slight grin forms on her face and she knows...
Everything is going to be more than just alright

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
