If theres one thing many can agree on in life, its that heartbreak hurts like hell. But unfortunately its something everybody deals with from day to day. This is a poem I wrote about dealing with that.


Everyday used to feel like heaven

And I worried I was a clueless fool

And as time passed you proved me right

For being scared of getting used to you

You broke my heart into pieces

And this isn't the 1st time

I had chased you for 2 years

Now I'm done you wanna be mine?

I can't keep chasing fantasies

Cant chase what's not meant to be

All I can chase is my destiny

Regardless if you're not in it with me

I've wasted so much time believing that you would ever care

I've wasted so much effort to show you how I'll always be the one that's there

For you

To Be the one that will hold you

To Be the one that will love you

The one to give my whole damn universe up to you

Cause fact is

Wanted to make you my world

But the systems out of balance

I wonder if your feelings were ever there

You throw these feelings in my face

And your face locked in my heart

I wonder how things would be different

If we had a chance to restart

But a restart just loses value when it's not from the heart

And if there is no heart

Than I wish no part

I can't keep throwing myself out

When it's not to be caught

You don't actually want me

You just want me to want you

And fact is I wanted to

Yet false love is impossible

Cause fact is if we're being real,

You could have had me

but I guess that's a future that we never gon' see

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?
