Poetry on Odyssey: Fantasize

"Let's justify our actions, quit foreboding."

Here is a short poem and my general view of our world today. The focus of the poem is to say that our current reality is far from the wanted "fantasy."


What if there were a world with no commotion?

And what if there were no such thing as fear?

Let me make one thing clear:

There cannot be sadness or racket.

For those are the rules, no exceptions.

Where will we ever be able to find such a place on this planet?

The problems lie in our own depth perceptions.

This society will never be familiar to me.

Maybe someday instead of beating each other,

We will act like we are part of one another.

Or maybe when hope is needed,

Tears vanish and we finally feel completed.

But not just as an individual, but

Together, as one person.

At least, isn't that the goal?

We're not determined,

But even so,

How can we even change what's already been broken?

It's not impossible but difficult

To release all the faults we've been holding.

But if we did, that means success, not just a miracle.

Let's justify our actions, quit foreboding

As if there's no chance or too difficult

To fix, but instead, keep going.

There's no acting as if all of this is opposite from reality

Because this world is known as a fantasy.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
