Let me start by acknowledging I'm nothing special, so I find it hard to believe
That a woman like you would ever take it to be true that I'm more than a mark that'll bleed
My scar-covered wings show harm from the things that are barely removed, not as far as it seems
My heart's smithereens, but you keep approaching, tryna do your part to relieve

I could not comprehend the concept of a pure soul
Who looks at me sincerely and would ever find me beautiful
Is your vision broken? Is your head right?
Or have I been hurt too much and I always assume to tread light?

I'm sorry, I'ma need a second, I'm gonna have to ask you to repeat the message
You mean to bless me with your gleaming presence and you swear to God it's not a scheme or deathwish?
I'm dragged through the underworld, and you make the trip to bring a piece of heaven?
I'm sorry for my cynical ways, but I'm a pea shooter and you're a lethal weapon

I theorize, I ponder, while we take our gusted saunter
Do you see any part of me I've missed? Am I more to you than a monster?
I'd never think I'm worth a glance, but you locked eyes with me
And I believe the time to be suspicious has arrived to me

But it's like, finally! For once, I can get comfortable
You bring me sanctity when home gets too dysfunctional
I say I'm combustible, you tell me that you like the heat
You've quelled the demons taunting me
I would fight for weeks

You're always there when the voices, they refuse to stop
And refuse to stop and refuse to stop, they never go away, they refuse to stop
You hug me tight and refuse to stop and I stand with you and refuse to stop
The bomb counting down will blow any minute, but you're always there to get the fuse to stop

I don't think I've ever met a woman of your pedigree
Who will push and support and try her hardest to reveal the best of me
When I think I'm suffocating, you take me and give me breath to breathe
And let me just say, those thighs you got are gonna be the death of me

Agony to ecstacy, doubt into swagger
You give me strength to stay stalwart when I'm staggered
I love you so much, and that's unquestionable and factual
I want to take your hand and make sure we're never detachable

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
