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.

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.
