Poetry On Odyssey: Wasted Time

Busted on the ground. No wonder I feel all over the place

Some people have the unfortunate reality of putting effort into people and getting nothing back and it's not exactly a "good time" emotion. In fact, it kinda hurts, a lot; especially when you're made to feel like there's a possibility they do care. This is a poem I wrote on that:

Wasted Time

I don't hate you.

I hate the fact that I wasted so much time on you

It was never about making you feel something

Or even giving me a chance

It's the fact that all you had to say was no...

And you didn't...

Making me feel like I was worth something in your eyes

When really

You didn't care if you ever spoke to me again

And for what

To feel valued?

To feel some glimmer of hope that someone you want to might care?

You love saying no one cares about you

Raving about how people dislike you just because of your appearance…

Ignoring people that loved you not just for that

But also who you were aside from it all.

And no matter what I did

You showed me every effort

Was pointless

And I was the fragile glass that fell for you

Hoping to be caught

But busted on the ground

No wonder I feel all over the place

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

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?

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition."
