Not-So-Blue Eyes

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."- Henry David Thoreau

Those blue eyes, that once shone bright

Brought life to my heart, and made it light

Those blue eyes, flickering with excitement and style

When bantering, or laughing, how it complimented his smile

Those blue eyes, a cool tone but warm

Once held mine in theirs, making me transform

Those blue eyes, though endearing, hid much rage

Too focused on negatives, an invisible cage

Those blue eyes, how they'd brim with tears

Every clarity, moral, and assertion disappears

Those blue eyes, insetting guilt and submission

Left a stab to my heart, unknown demolition

Those blue eyes, once reflecting love turned toward lust

Fracturing my heart, and destroying my trust

Those blue eyes, now turn slowly to grey

His firm grounded and morals, drifted away

Those not-so-blue eyes, now become stranger

Being further away I realized the danger

I had changed so much, I was blind to the reality

Conforming, replacing, letting go of my personal identity

Those not so blue eyes, have no hold on me anymore

I have my life ahead, I wait for what's in store

My new found life, I confidently know

This experience though painful, helped me to grow

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
