Poetry On Odyssey: Not Worth Throwing Away

The unfortunate reality of the world today is that some people don't realize what they have until it is gone. The thing is, why worry about what you don't have if what you do is already great? You might realize its never worth trading in the first place and now you cant get it back. This is a small poem I wrote on that.


You know

You're right

You can do better than me

Maybe I'm not the absolute best

But the one you go to

He could probably do better than you too

Cause the world is full of possibilities

And when he moves on

Like you thought you could from me

You'll realize when it's too late

That just because something inviting looks better

Doesn't mean what you have

Is worth throwing away

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?
