Poetry On Odyssey: I Am Eve

You were my forbidden fruit.

Felicity Madore

Four and a half years after you came into my life you are gone from it
One year of silent staring
Seven months of friendship
One year and four some odd months of dating
And the rest in between,
Well...
The rest is our ending and our new beginning

I let your fangs sink into my soul
Injecting a venom not easily removed
Between the Angel in you and the Devil you hid in me
I was lost and thought I had been found
Instead, I had found who you had wanted me to be

Somewhere between love and obsession we had something
Whether I was trying to please you
Or whether you were ignoring me I, allowed myself to believe that you cared
That you loved me
All the while your poison sinking deeper

It's my fault for not seeing the beast beyond the boy
Because let's be honest
I thought I had seen the boy beyond the beast
Yet as your claws strike me
My heart ripped to shreds

Broken
Alone
Unsheltered
I allowed you to continue on the Beastly path you chose

I had been blinded by what I had called love
I could not see what was becoming of me
Just like Eve I had been deceived by my own Snake

I had been cheated and broken
Nothing left except a shell

They say a star is formed by the collapse of a Nebula
I collapsed
Through loss of self worth I grew
My soul reformed
My spirit fought back
I found a real and honest love

I am my own star

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
