Lust

You're laying in bed, and its late at night. Now in your freshman year of college, being away from home has been very difficult. Sometimes you find yourself crying, balled up beneath the sheets, trying to to be silent so your room-mate doesn't hear. Tonight you're thinking about how Christmas is just around the corner, but your standing with your family isn't where it should be. The last time you were home, your mother told you she was disappointed that you hadn't supported your father in the family business. You don't want to go home - you can't. They constantly guilt you, when all you were trying to do was chase your dreams, and go to school for what makes you happy. You begin crying, biting your lip to silence the whimper.
