Poetry On Odyssey: Mirror Of The Month

"But you knew with Him, who died and bled, / Whose blood He shed / anything is possible"

Poetry On Odyssey: Mirror Of The Month
Andrew Council

I witness your pain like a jury member

Empathizing for you, December

Your words are cold, November

However, I can’t seem to remember

the times where You actually felt lucky

Not like the four leaf clover

Or it snowing in October

But you simply smiling

Smiling like the First day of September

cause it’s the one day you get to be the center

You clean your mirror, trying to clean your self-reflection

However it can’t get anymore flawless

In August

Where you stepped out in the world, knowing you were the change.

No longer the Jury Member, now I’m the judge

Deciding your fate

Restricting your hate

Stop crying

Saying you’d rather “die than live”

“Julying”

Pick yourself up plaintiff and walk

Walk then run with that sheet of paper that you spent four long years working for.

because where you come from, In June, this only happens every blue moon.

“It May happen” they said.

But you knew with Him, who died and bled,

Whose blood He shed

anything is possible

April showers

Don’t bring flowers

They bring floods

Floods of uncertainty and pain, yet happiness when your mother smiles.

Who you’d March a thousand miles

To see

Just cause it’s February, doesn’t mean you have to be alone

Just cause it’s V-day, and no one is blowing up your phone

You Still smile

Plaintiff, I see through you as I look at you

And just because it’s January and you still have the flu,

I still smile.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
