Falling

A poem about feeling empty after heartbreak

21
Falling

Do you ever hold your breath as long as you can

And then gasp for air

Or think about what it would be like

To drown in your own tears

"Better things are coming"

"If it's meant to be it will be"

It's like trying to get your footing on a crumbling cliff

Constantly searching for where to go next

Digging your nails into the dirt and rocks

Giving everything you've got to hold on

And then all of a sudden

You fall


Years ago when I would fall

You were there to catch me

You would drag me out of the darkest trenches that is my mind

And show me sunlight still exists

When I would cry so hard I would shake

You would steady my breathing

You were the frame that held me together

But I thought I could stand without you


And so I walked away

Hoping you would chase me

But you had a plan of your own

It's like I was a race horse wearing blinders

I only had eyes for my plan

And you didn't want to run with me

In a second you were gone

And now I have nothing

I am hollow


I try to fill the void with other people

But I know you are the one

I would do anything, be anything for you

All I need is a chance

I know you have moved on

Sometimes I wish I had too

But there is nothing in this world that I crave more than your love

I am falling again

But my heart has stopped before reaching the ground

And you are nothing but a faint memory

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.

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.
