Drowning at one a.m.

Your smell still reeking all over me.

Memories fading in and out.

Our lives black and white, no gray to see.

Gasping for air in darkness with only the light of technology.

Not caring about the outcome, just wanting to be free.

Time keeps passing by, yet it's like you're still controlling me.

Even though you're with her, you keep doing little things.


No matter how high I get I see you in my dreams.

On replay in my head, your lips against mine.

We didn't know then but it would be our first and last time.

All I can do is sit here while my head and heart just screams.

You told me "Don't mess up this time".

If you only knew how I felt back then, maybe now, we could see eye to eye.


You told me to wait.

Its been over a year.

You made your choice, even made mine.

When goodbye was out the question.

You made it clear to see.

Both of you all over Insta, as clothes less as could be.


You tried to apologize for what you did in December.

Yet you have to swallow your pride.

I cant believe you still remember.

Left me there hanging with my heart on my sleeve.

Everyone says you're so unhappy.

I don't get it.

Making memories with her, while ours stay haunting me.


She doesn't make you as happy as you're forcing it to be.

And you don't love me as much as you tried to make it seem.

I refuse to keep waiting for you aimlessly.

I just don't get why you keep doing this to me.

I pray God brings someone in my life, who will finally let me breathe.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
