Vanishing Into Nothing

A Poem About How I Feel

38
Vanishing Into Nothing

I used to think that poems were lame, until I figured out that they can explain so much in the world. Like your feelings toward something, a different place in the world, and even tell a story. Many people I know are like me, but just give this poem a chance to explain my feelings toward something. I know it’s not normal for me to write things like this, but just give it a chance to express how I feel…

You look in the mirror,

Not knowing what to feel,

You look down at yourself,

Not knowing what you did,

You look back at yourself,

With a dazed look on your face,

You smile, feeling satisfied,

Knowing how it feels,

You feel the warm dripping down your hand,

Feeling your life run out,

You think of everything that you did wrong,

Knowing you did the right thing,

You wonder how long you have,

Just to think about the life you lived,

You see a picture of your sister,

And feel sad on the inside,

You start to cry,

Knowing she will be devastated,

You look back at yourself,

Disgusted in everything you did,

You feel the warm running out of your body,

Satisfying the empty feeling that has been inside for so long,

You collapse,

The shiny thing that did this landing next to you,

You smile,

Seeing the culprit caught makes you seem not guilty,

Your life slowly seeping into the floor,

Knowing this is the end,

Your eyes shut,

the world fades away,

You feel so relieved of everything,

And everything is... gone.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
