Poetry On Odyssey: Lonely Heart

I sure hope that a lonely heart isn't suppose to be my fate...

One by one's
Two by two's
They all walk hand in hand.
But who am I to refuse?
I guess I'm just the one man marching band.

The ache of being lonely is sad.
I guess I should just cover myself with a paper bag.
I feel like I'm in the garbage can,
Guess I'll have to be my own number one fan...

My phone forever haunted by ghosts
All of them with their Cheshire grins
I end up thinking the most,
But in the end...I don't win.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
I always got picked last on the playground, so who am I to be surprised?
They all smile and hold hands
When in reality what I want is something everyone has...

That person to say "hope your day was great"
Or "let's go on a romantic date!"
But I guess I'm supposed to be alone, which you could call a suspected undramatic twist of fate.

Everyone has found their boat and ticket to ride.
While I sit on the docks wondering...where is mine?

Alone at the harbor with nowhere to go, I guess I'll sit here and wait.
But I sure hope that a lonely heart isn't supposed to be my fate...

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
