Poetry On Odyssey: Hold Me

In This Article:

Hold me and tell me it'll be alright.

Promise me the pain won't be forever.

I'm sorry for the things I feel inside.

A person like you deserves so much better.


I wish I could be as strong as you.

Believe in myself the way you do.

I feel like heaven is calling me.

That angel's song is so heavenly.


I don't really wanna live life like this.

I can't survive another night like this.

Cuts in my wrist, pain in my veins...

Bullets in clip, one shot through my brain.


And after I'm gone keep the tears to yourself.

My life was for family and friends––no one else.

I don't want your fake flowers, fake tears, and fake love.

Talking 'bout me like you knew who I was.


How could you let time pass you by?


Guess that's my situation.

What if I gave you a better life?

Take suicide off your brain dear, maybe?

Held you and told you it'll be alright.


Promised you the pain wouldn't be forever.

I'm sorry for the things you feel inside.

A person like you deserves so much better.

I wish I knew why you did what you did.


How can you take your own life you were only a kid?

Guess life is a lot easier when you stop breathing.

But it makes it harder for the people you end up leaving.

Pain's temporary kid, happiness is immortal.


We've all felt like giving up, the feeling is normal.

I wish I could've told you all the things you'd accomplish.

All the people that didn't believe you, how you'll leave them astonished.

All the weed and pills man, you above all that.


I know they make you feel happy but you'll never adapt.

The emptiness inside could never be filled with prescription.

All them nights you felt alone cause the love you wanted was missing.

Can't promise you it gets better; I don't know myself.


The only advice I can give you is to love yourself.

I can't blame you, depression can win when you feed her.

If I didn't have you, I wouldn't be here either.


Hold me and tell me it'll be alright.

Promise me the pain won't be forever.

I'm sorry for the things I feel inside.

I could never be what you wanted for me.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
