A conversation that never was.

Poetry On Odyssey: Hold Me

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
