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.

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?
