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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
