Where the ocean ends

Defines the end of me,

I swim with you through miles of blue,

And then begin to bleed.


Though thick and warm and spreading,

My blood you cannot see,

For all of me is part of you and I am but a dream.


I fade away in silence,

I don’t caress your tears,

I warm your skin and hold you in,

To shield you from your fears.


I wish to truly touch you,

And would if I were real,

I’m by your heart but worlds apart,

So all I do is leer.


Though time is truly kind to us,

We can’t escape the miles,

I fear that if I stay for long,

You’ll take me down the aisle.


And though I do want nothing more,

This fate is so unkind,

I bid my love with a whispered hug,

And remove me from your mind.

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?
