She left men’s houses
Like she camped
Leaving behind no trace. Taking everything out with her that she brought in.
Well, at least nothing that she would ever have to come back for.
If anything—she left memories and a smile.
Like the butterfly that she was
Always seen. Never Caught
Never stopping. On No Occasion Contained
See this butterfly had been netted before
By someone who attempted to
Cover up her color and dim her light.
In order to fly back to herself
She left everything behind.

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.
