A poem about healing through alternate realities

Life is difficult, and how we transition in our lives is going to be completely different from the next, and that is where this poem comes from. It comes from a rich inner world that lays inside my mind, in an alternate reality, where I can find some sense, and ultimately reach peace, and find myself completely.



Dressed from head to toe in my favorite attire,

a color of beige and other neutrals,

cling to my body,

as I walk down these clear halls with millions of doors.

With each door I pass a sound emerges,

a sound of different places that attempt to lure me,

that wish for me to enter that world instead of the others,

and while I wish to go to each one,

in my heart of hearts,

I know it is not where I need to be.


Down the hall,

closer to the staircase that leads to the museum,

there is a door that is designed with the galaxy in mind,

and it is there where I am needed during this time,

and I embrace it warmly.

Opening the door

I find myself entering without any sign of hesitation,

as I leave the clear hallway with millions of doors behind,

only to be greeted by meteorite made lake,

with the rest of the world swirling around slowly,

dancing to the rhythm of of the atmospheric melody.


Just one step and I find myself entering the lake,

no sign of hesitation,

and no sign of fear,

I gracefully let the warm water of the lake take over,

and envelope me in its warm embrace.

As I float in the lake,

surrounded by a cave-like walls,

the planets continue to dance,

continue to finding their pace,

until they find the alignment that is right for me to see.

And it is here where I am healing,

in a meteorite lake,

surrounded by the dazingly planets,

in the deep depths of my soul and mind.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
