The Consequences of Death Entering My House

A poem about love and death.

Death! Death! Death!

Can someone help me locate it?

It split my happiness, it dismantled my dreams

What a fearful moment it is

When I hear its name


It tiptoed into my household

Without any reason

And left as a destroyer

What a fearful moment it is

When I hear its name


A thousand cries and a thousand screams

Would never bring back my loved one

Oh Death! Death! Death!

What a fearful moment it is

When I hear its name


Whenever I am lonely

I start to think of my life

And how scattered it has become

I wake up in the morning


Look around and there is no one

When I remember

How we used to dance,

The songs we used to sing,

How we used to tease,


I begin to tear up.

What death took away

Was my heart,

Was my soul,

Was my everything.

Hmm, I feel dead right now.


What a fearful moment it is

When I hear its name

What even is death?

Can’t it just go?

Or like negotiate?


It is causing harm

To people young and old

rich and poor

strong and weak


People point fingers at me

Some also bully me

Just because I have no one


How I wish I could also disappear

Loneliness is a disease

And death brought me that disease

Grief alone was not enough

What a fearful moment it is

When I hear of death


Ever since you left

My heart has been divided

One side left with you

And the other is filled with headache


Though you are gone,

You still remain locked in my heart

As I lay on my bed

Our memories are what I think of


My dear one

I truly miss you

Life without you

Is like a bird without feathers

I am lost without you


This festive season

Reminds me of you a lot

Laughing, screaming and watching movies

Was our usual norm

But now, loneliness and sorrows are what remains with me


When people ask of you

Nothing but tears is what they see

Crawling down my lone eyes

Making me more sorrowful


I try to forget about you

So I can at least smile

Even so, the thought of forgetting you

Is something that hunts me down


I feel attached to you

One side of me is grateful for that

Yet, the other half is not

Just because I cannot live happily

Now that you are gone


Sometimes I wish I had gone with you

Yeah, people may think I am crazy

All the same, been lonely is much painful

The feeling of having no one

Is much sorrowful


I think of been open to people

But I have become scared of losing them

So they ask me why

Nonetheless, my reason may be irrelevant

Because you are already gone

And there is nothing to bring you back alive


Farewell! Farewell! Farewell!

May you find peace

For you would forever remain in my heart

Oh what a fearful moment it is

At the mention of the word, Death.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
