Poetry On Odyssey: "Rumors"

Their mouths run, their lies are told, but no one will believe them for long, because I will tell the truth, and I will destroy their rumours

Their mouths run

Their lies are told

But everyone believes them

Because they heard it from them first


I try to tell the truth

They say I'm the liar

That I'm trying to hijack the truth

When I want everyone to know the truth


No one knows their intentions

They act innocent about it

They don't want their reputation ruined

But they already ruined it

By opening their mouth


I feel trapped

Like I'm at the bottom of the ocean

And everyone refuses to help

Because they don't know the truth


They think they know my intentions

They think they know me

But they don't

They only know someone's fantasy image of me


Their words cut through my heart

I feel like I have a sign on my head

"Do Not Befriend This Psychopath"

In big flashing red letters


Their mouths run

Their lies are told

But no one will believe them for long

Because I will tell the truth

And I will destroy their rumours

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
