"Who saves a hero?"

The blinking line on the page
Give you your own little stage
It asks: "What's on your mind?"
But the answer is hard to find
So much flies though the empty space
Of the abyss that is behind my face
More than I could share
More than I dare
To know what goes on in my head
Would give most cause to dread
From darkness to bright flowers
My brain ticks away the hours
Until the next stimuli I wait
Either brought or that I create
But the answer is not a simple one
It would be many hours 'til I would be done
But the only real reason to put such here
Has nothing to do with fear
I am an attention whore through and through
But I must become new
Not asking for attention
Where there is no retention
The only attention I should need is mine
I tell everyone that I am fine
My support system is done
Gone to someone else who is more fun
Who do I get my support from?
When everyone else is done
The guy who saves everyone
Is alone when everyone is done
So who saves the hero?
Before he becomes a zero...

One could say that the man does free
Should be filled with glee
But the glee comes from the save
And when there is no one to save...

The hero rides into the horizon
Sure to save more by the dozen
That's why they leave so soon
It's that or face their own doom
Because without people to save
The hero might as well dig their grave
My job is nearly done
I have battled but have not won

Who saves the hero?
When the hero needs a hero...

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
