Nothing At All

Have you ever felt like you were nothing at all?

Nothing At All
Tony Webster

I left my life behind

Sealed my lips and vowed to never speak again

And who did I think would care

I built these walls

Made from tears and fears but I don't remember when

Why do they all stare

And I ran so far away

They chased me all the way to worlds end

I tried to keep quiet

But screams broke the silence

And God was real why does hand feel like broken promises

I dreamt of better days but that was then

Now I feel nothing at all

My mother cried from the top of hill and through the trees

With monsters grabbing my heel

I ran and ran from nothing at all

The world took my only friend

Took her soul and left her in my weakened arms

And they never said things get easier

I looked back at the heavens

I cried and I cried

But I heard nothing at all

I was stuck in the dark

The things how they haunt and they taunt me

Took my eyes but somehow I saw

Oh I hate them I saw them I know that they saw me too

I wanted to be rescued

I wanted to feel safe

But instead I felt nothing at all

Again if God is real

Please come and save me

I am broke

And I am weak

These words overflow

The cries of a father,

This voice none the wiser

But nothing comes out

I learned my place again

So I'll say nothing at all

As you all do nothing at all

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
