Poetry on Odyssey: Hidden Issues

Now, I truly understand the saying when they say friends can break your heart too.

I do this thing of not letting anyone get close to me. Maybe it’s the fear that eventually you will walk out my life with a piece of me. A piece of myself that I no longer have to offer.

I'm tired of giving more than I actually receive. It’s the main cause of resentment towards others.

All my insecurities will go along with you while you talk with someone else. While you laugh with someone else. While you stay up late talking about anything and everything. The same things we used to do together.

If my name ever comes up in conversation, make sure when you do mention me, you tell them how you killed my soul. There are always two sides to every story.

I'm a strong believer in the thought that everyone that comes into your life for a reason whether it’s for a blessing or a lesson.

They say that time heals all wounds but I don’t think that it’s true. My heart beats as if it’s bleeding. It still hurts when I think about you. Now, I truly understand the saying when they say friends can break your heart too.

It’s always the ones who are closest to you, that seems to let you down. Maybe it’s the fact that you held them higher standard than everyone else.

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.
