Love Is To Hate

Let us Begin

15
Love Is To Hate
Colin Sullivan

We live in a world to be accepted voiceless,

to stay sheltered from the terrors of differences

The openness of our love and soul is sheltered.


We live in a world where we are too blind.

Too blind to see the truth behind the smile,

the pain that lingers behind the face

that is covered up by the nearest high.


We live in a world where gained acceptance

rots in the hands of the devil.

Our ideas become so twisted and flustered.

It becomes unapparent to see a difference

between the man holding the gun and I.


There is one saying too much to handle.

The power leaks through the voice

of many who no longer fear

the pain of our carried out intent.

Who embellish themselves in knowledge,

who seek to find love in what they have learned

to no longer follow the crowd but to

understand why the steps are so easily repeated.


We take a chance to single ourselves out,

to open the eyes of others,

to share the darkness that hides behind the light.

We are here to teach love in a new way

one that isn't made up of sketched hearts in a note pad.

We are here to teach a new love

a love that is earned and destroyed,

one that no longer holds all the smiling faces,

but drags along the misery we went through.


The world came crashing down,

to fall far from what love we believe in

to establish the people that will fight

to be safe, to bury deep into a satisfaction,

to create the world that is grown from good

A world that is reborn on the floor of love.


We get lost in order to grow further.

We lose ourselves to assemble ourselves.

We fall down to learn to get back up .

We hate to understand the darkness of love.


Let us begin.

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?

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?
