Poetry On The Odyssey: Off Repeat

The repetition has come to an end

I never thought

my mind

would ever stop

moving moving moving.


I felt like each night

I would end up

cradling my heart

in my own arms,

withdrawing withdrawing withdrawing.


I couldn't see myself

feeling emotion

for anything

anybody anybody anybody.


There was no end

to a stream

of never ending questions,

never ending panic

but it all

stopped stopped stopped.


I was finding myself

without air

but yet here I am,

in front of you

breathing breathing breathing.


I felt like everything

in my life

would end up wrong

but suddenly

things feel

right right right.


Til I met you

I had nothing

And now that I know you

I feel like I can have everything.

My life was

fragmented in pieces

of

three three three.


Doubts clouded

my mind

in thoughts

that would repeat

themselves

over and over and over again.


The rewind button

has stopped

the repetition

has come to an end

and I am beginning to realize

I can enjoy the song of life

without having to go back

and listen to it

again and again and again.

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.

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.
