"Rethinking"

"But we are nothing more than souls trapped within bodies."

We had no choice in what life in which we were conceived in

Born into a world where we're forced to make split second decisions that we never believed in

We view life as an overall existence

By the correlations through the indications decipher the differences between reality and just point of view

Because life was never about me and it was certainly never about you

But we're all just different beings

Set out on a path to explore an uncertain destiny

Hoping that the power of the universe has enough power to guide us to the places we hoped to be

Hoping to find what we've wanted to see

But we are nothing more than souls trapped within bodies

But when our bodies begin to decay all we'll have left are memories

Because when our body's struggle to stay alive

Our souls will continue to strive

And our souls will then begin to survive

Because we can see the beauty hidden behind one another's eyes

While breaking in the callouses that formed while digging through each other lies

But we reach the bottom and it was just another object we didn't want to find

We are all just living on this earth

As a pointless existence trying to discover our own self worth

And as the curses begin to surface

We begin to discover who we are as a person

A species that created time to fortify our presence

Because we live in the moment but only exist in the present

Everything that our souls have had the ability to explore

Is what we've pushed our bodies through hell in order to endure

Because life is just a bunch of stepping stones

Thrown out carelessly by people we've come to know

While we struggle to maneuver our way down this rocky road

We learn that we were blessed with the ability to breath

And cursed with the ability to see

The presence that was lurking deep down underneath

And we found what we wanted to find

Because our souls will continue to survive

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?
