Poetry On Odyssey: A Collection Of Thoughts I Never Thought I'd Share

It was those days I lived for- physically, stayed alive for.

It was those days I lived for-

physically, stayed alive for.

I never knew

when they would come, or what time they'd go-

but every once in a while

they did come.

and every once in a while

I felt.

I felt real and driven

and oriented again -

back into one-piece.

my mind was clear,

my heart was happy,

and my soul was free.

She knew where to go,

but she was intuitively scared.

& she craved to be free with a thirst for independence, that was needing to be quenched.

Where was she supposed to walk?

With the crowd, or by herself?

She didn't want to go first, or even last, or even at all.

She was scared.

She was alone.

She always was stuck in the grey areas of the world

Consequentially, she was lost in the dark,

grey fog, which soon became her life.

It didn't seem fair that she couldn't remember what the feeling of happiness truly felt like.

I wasted my breath-

screaming,

when nobody was listening.

Now I've lost it-

I'm done

and

I'm gone.

Now I'm done.

Now I'm gone.

& now that they're listening,

I'm unable to speak.

Not only have you

destroyed the faith

I put into you,

but you eliminated

any chance

of me trusting anyone else again.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
