Poetry On Odyssey: I Love Her, Not Just Me & Her

You ever just grow an intense bond with someone that you wouldn't trade for the world, but just because you two couldn't "be together", everyone expects you to be hostile? It's okay if things don't work out, it comes with moving on. But the thing is, no one is entitled to fall for and be with you. This is a small poem I wrote about that.



You ever think maybe I'm not just in it for love?

Yes I love her,

Not just the thought of her with me,

the way she fills my mind with childlike wonder

How she's dances through my life years blessing it.

And to think…

I was getting ready to lose her…

Not just in a romantic sense

But as the friend I needed

I couldn't do it

Yes she hurt me…

… un… unintentionally

But I'd rather lose her to someone else's love

… or tender care

Than be left without her entirely

Because forgive her I couldn't dare

When we're all mistake making hunks of junk probably going nowhere!

Maybe I'm not supposed to find my love with her

Maybe I'm not supposed to find love at all

But I'd rather find even just a glimmer of happiness in her smile…

If it be with someone else…

Than waste life hating her,

Because I wasn't her beck and call

I don't just love the thought of us you see,

I kinda just love her for her to where…

I just want her to be happy

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

If you’re from the Midwest, it seems to be that winter lasts for what feels like forever. But despite the struggles that winter brings, there are so many things to love about it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
