All I Want To Focus On Is You

Because, you're shining through, boy.

All I Want To Focus On Is You
Molly Camille Janusz

All I want to focus on is you.

this perfect essence of light has shined through; has become something i never

thought it could ever be.

you have somehow, someway, sparked the caverns within myself

that went so far down, twisted and turned within my body to canvas, and mold your soul within mine,

to make me one, to make you one, us one.

You have captivated my every sense, to be able to think about

the glories of this life, to smell the oranges that hang from the nearby tree, to hear the sounds of life being formed and worsened as the world goes on and on; to touch you.

To feel every bone in your body, as you fill my lungs

with sweetness, I exhale the shivers you put up and down my spine.

As i see you become a part of the cycle worsening

with every puff of smoke, killing your body softly with the love of myself, every touch, every canvas piece of artwork you sculpt with the cigarettes inhaled into your mouth is a piece of love telling you to never give up.

Ive seen the pieces of you that are rusted, the pieces that you seem to throw away and never recycle;

never refurbished to make a little change, to make yourself the slightest bit better, yet i stick around to watch you like a puppy dog as my life worsens and becomes part of the cycle you live in.

My momma told me to never smoke, because I would inhabit the life that you have.

I would never become well enough living in a lifestyle of dirty sobriety that could ever become cleansed, and soon i get addicted to what you are and what you do.

And it turns me on. It makes me someone I'm not; it gives me the feeling of attraction to you even more as you peel away every layer till you reach it.

You reach for it, clench, twist, shaking and shattering within yourself and you kill my heart,

slowly being intertwined within your hands, filled with blood and anger, but i still want to be close to you.

I still choose to be in this lifestyle that never suited me, was a false accusation of love within, only for sex and hatred that became a river of love, that flooded my heart, along with yours, making no sense with the two people we are, we were.

Coming from two different worlds; a life of riches and one with weakness and filth, you somehow overwhelm me with a thought of love;

a thought that gold and jewels are not a significance of anything, that even my life had became something that was wasted;

wasted being that,

my starvation of life could only be filled by riches, and that, was a lie.

That was a direction i wanted myself to stray from.

But you, pushed me in a direction of peace; of a lifestyle to be calm and observe.

Observe what this life has to offer despite the hatred that has been placed upon its mountainous surface;

along with the flaws in the hills, our lifestyle matched the textures of the earth.

We become one with the earth, until a volcano erupts, and life becomes strenuous and filled with the morals of a demon, and you became one, yourself.

You became the person i thought you could never obtain to be; to hold that personality so tight, with the grip of a snake, you captivated me,

you squeezed, clenched and held so tight, just like the night you told me you loved me, and i thought i was never going to be let go,

and I was gone.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
