Poetry On Odyssey: Baiting The Heart

Love Is Deep, Love Is Painful.

Poetry On Odyssey: Baiting The Heart

There are many things he yearns to say,

His gentle organ forever fumbling and beating fast;

Why does it seem his words get shoved away?

Alas, it appears he is out of her caste.


Heart ripped from the lure,

At home, he feels gazing at your eyes, mesmerized with many stars a twinkle,

Thinking, “have I finally found the cure?”

Brushing, brushing cheek so soft, all except her charming crinkle.


You, my dear, are some kind of delightful:

Taking a leap in loving somebody,

Adoring your intellect, a wildflower so insightful;

Expression so deep and binary, the world sees your warmest soul.


Many a time I’ve promised to be your knight;

Painting and preserving these memories in the vault,

Out of my grasp, another love is slain; much like Juliet at her height,

Often confessed that love is painful, so darling I’m hurting, and it's my fault.


Alas, as accustomed they part ways—time for another fresh start,

Through it all nothing but façade and weakness;

Wanting to be with her was simply baiting the heart.

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?
