Never hold a wildfire girl.

She felt it like

You'd held her

like a home, and

not a cage over

a blue-burning flame.


You told her you

were the Sun,

and that the

warmth she felt was

some type of love.


Then she burned like a

brushfire: scalding and

ferocious; oppressed and

violent. Did you not

realize what she was?


She holds two lips that

kissed the Devil once

and in her grew the

fire you thought you

planted in her soul.


This girl was never

yours. She belongs in

the Devil's arms; the

only man that could

ever make her strong.


Heed my warning,

Mr. Sun. Never leave

a wildfire girl, for she

will never grieve

and always rage on.


She'll love you and

she'll keep you warm,

but leave her and she

burns.

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?
