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

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
