Would you still love me

at times I do not love me?

Or times when all I ever do is love me?


Would you still love me when I bitch?

When I break?

For God's sake

would you still love me when it pours?

Or when I pour out symptoms of crazy

but it is love that has a hold on me.


Would you still love me if I was mumbling?

bummin’?

Slurring my words?

What seems absurd

is the way I fail to serve the action you seek

so you say I’m acting


But what am I really doing

if it’s often in return for nothing

except

loving this piece of nothing to death

and he only drives me to deathbed

and casket spelling

Rest well my lady,

I will love you forever and ever

and forever whenever

the time doesn’t seem to get better


I'll know your names weight on my shoulders

and I'll know your kiss

because I know your lips

well enough to speak for you


I know your sound

I know how you walk so I follow in my ego

I know how you say I love you

With your eyes believing in your lie

but I forever believe in the lie


Would you still love me

when all I own is an aching soul mumbling

bummin'

boycotting love for the 5th time this week


Will you still love me when it rains rocks

and we write the pain on paper as proof

And cut bones out with scissor

And show them how naked our sex really feels at the alter screaming encore

And I want next


Would you still love me

at my best,

at my worst

or

even when you don't?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
