Poetry On Odyssey: You Weren't Mine, Not Really

I didn't even have to stare to know that you would be the one to break my heart.

Maybe I shouldn't have read in between the lines

Maybe it never meant anything at all

Maybe I made it up inside my head


It's always when the sun is away

The stars dance in my eyes

In my bed is where I like you best

You make me feel at home, like I've got nothing to lose


I should not have let you in

I should have stayed away

I should have, I should have

But I didn't


I went out and saw you

I didn't even have to stare to know

That you would be the one to break my heart

Knowing when and where and how and why

You are the one from which I couldn't hide


You knew my soul and you knew

You were my world, but


with everything going on

Her, you, and me and them

Maybe it wasn't worth the fall

When the glass shatters and the world is in shreds,

I know that you won't be there


That's life after all.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
