Jellyfish

a poem for you; the one lost in life

40
Jellyfish

You float around a vast nothing,

each day bringing more of nothing in particular.

A beautiful creature- almost deadly to the touch- unable to find something to hold on to.

Time keeps passing by around you, and so does life,

yet you continue to float on,

as an observer,

with only mere beauty to offer to this world.


You let nothing come close you,

keeping yourself absolutely sheltered.

You know those that dare to approach get stung in the process- leaving you alone once more.

And maybe the solace isn't so bad; a comforting way of living,

undisturbed.


But even a jellyfish needs love,

and I hope one day that love will float to you,

and instead of stinging it- you'll find comfort in knowing it'll always stay near you,

keeping you company in this vast nothing.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
